    Sounds like Lonestar is a pretty good place. I will have to check them out since i only live a mile from the Fort Worth yard.

    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.

    Ontario was pretty easy to get around, drivers actually seemed intelligent too which was a switch. Quebec on the other hand is a challenge, at least for me, my french isn't exactly good.
