    They only pay you 24 cpm on runs over a 1000 miles. For solo OTR, you should be getting 30 cpm up to 700 miles, 28 cpm 700-1000 miles.

    There was a drivers building under construction the last time I was there. How's that coming along?

    Sitting in Seattle. Will probably be here until Monday. We should have just stopped somewhere decent and waited to deliver. I can't help myself, once I get a load I have to deliver it asap.

    Seriously grab a rental and go sightseeing. Awesome city. I think the busses downtown are free, they used to be. Pike Place Market, waterfront, experience music project. SEAFOOD!

    Maybe next time, when it's not so cold. We ended up getting deadheaded to Idaho anyway. Picking up tonight and heading to Michigan.

    Things have turned around so much for me.....went to Orientation last week with Hirschbach, got my truck (2011 Cascadia), made one short run, then got a run going from Waterloo, IA to Vernon, TX.....was able to stop by the house over the weekend and get my truck put together.

    My new truck comes with a fridge, 2500W inverterter, APU, and PeopleNet (which I am slowly but surely learning how to work...LOL). The e-logs are different, but I'm getting there.

    I am also a Lease Operator now.....they have a good deal going for the LP's, and I have a strong support system with other drivers so I feel good about it.
