    Yes you are right about having enough coin to get home, but this time is alittle different. Our pay structure has been totally different with this place, never had it like this in 28 yrs. We didnt get paid until the trip was done. And by the time we got back it hadbeen 6.5 weeks. Working on 7 actually. So we are out of money. Haven't tapped family yet because I'd like to try to get by on our own. Will try OOIDA, thanks for the idea!

    No credit cards?
    You used to be able to call around various rental car companies, and ask if they had cars to the city you need to get to, without a drop off fee.
    Did that several times years ago, changing jobs. Sometimes the car rental companies have cars they want to get to a certain area.
    They won't pay you, but will charge you the daily rental fee and no drop off (one way) fee if they need cars there.
    I'm assuming you have a sleeper load of stuff to get home?

    Try truckers charity. Lance wood is the leader. They helped a lot of the other drivers get home when Arrow left them stranded. Www.truckers charity.org I think.
