    Update:
    Ok... in an hour or so, I'll have my 34 hour reset.
    We are still in Effingham Il.
    We will be loading in Champaign Il this afternoon and delivering tomorrow in Groveport Oh.
    Then a load from Sidney Oh. going to Denver Co. that delivers on the 28th. We are hoping to just drop it in the Henderson yard on the 27th and get a beer run back to SoCal to deliver on the 29th or just to drop in the Fontana yard.
    I am looking forward to this weekend off....
    LadyK starts her classes in Fontana on Monday so we are going to have this weekend together. I am hoping that I will be able to upgrade this week. But I have a feeling that I will not be.... We have had far too many "stops" in driving time....
    We have not even cracked the 9k yet.... and we need 17k before I can do the upgrade...

    Or 35 days..

    It is a minimum of 17k AND 28 days. Rumor has it 35 days is max regardless of miles. Ohh the 17K is on the
    Truck not just you

    From your keyboard to God's ear!! If it is though - I will be disappointed, but will take it in stride... 'that's trucking' and that is what I'm signing up for... not that I will 'like' it, but I'll put up with it... hopefully I won't have to though :biggrin_255:
     
    Katey Thanks this.

    Don't forget Kling, the only thing you can plan on in trucking is for the plan to change! Good god, especially as a team! Half way to Cali and you'll get a single driver who can't add his hours and you will have to repower the thing to Ma. Some of them do it on purpose too! They will get within a few hundred miles of their delivery and say they can't make it because it's a Walmart or something and they don't want to wait to get unloaded! All part of the fun! At least those guys keep you rollin! I can't be too hard on the single drivers because they are usually the ones who load and unload your drop and hooks all the time. Now that I used to feel bad for.
     
    Lady K Thanks this.
