I'm home just about every weekend for my break so I can't complain.. I live just off 30/820. This run I requested to get thru okc so I could get my twic, and they routed me there.. then I ran out of hours IN fort worth from Missouri... so I got home tonight for my break. Gonna be in houston by noon tomorrow.
The work is great.. I love it. Some of the older guys complain about the physical laborr but at 35 i'm holding my own. My shoulder hurts most days... old swimming injury.. but I manage. The customers for the most part are great and breakdown is good. My DM gets me where I need to be when I need to.. so i'm really happy here.
I'm gunning for level 5.. I just haven't told my DM yet.. lol

Yeah..crazy as it is... competitive swimming is one of the worst things for the joints. 9 months a year 4 hours a day for 4 years will do some damage! Throwing these straps KILL it when its a tall load.
I just scored a single pallet, 2000lbs, of tools to Windsor, Ontario from Waco, TX. Not too shabby!

ha I drove through Windsor a couple hours ago. Thats a good load for working on that fuel bonus.
I'm probably going to drive right by you, going to Laredo with mine.

Quitting or getting a new truck?
I just got back from a 2 stop run in Ontario. Entered through buffalo, and now am sitting 48 miles from my pickup in west PA tomorrow, near Erie. After, I head to east PA outside philly before finaling in Winnemucca NV on Monday. Good 3037 mile run to end the weekend out.
