    This is true.. It is doable..Just takes some fineness in picking your loads and that took me a long time to figure out... LOL. Some guys seem to do fine right away that I have talked to out here on road...To our advantage they increase the fuel discount in Western states. Helps a little!

    Plus we don't have deal with as much traffic. Can get bad in some areas but nothing like the East Side.

    And the move has begun.....
    Wife, the cat, and I are headed east to stay. Currently getting loaded and then 2100 miles to MI for a d/h. No load yet to NY, load board not inviting right now. Something will pop up I'm sure.

    If you can't get straight to NY you should be able to always get load out of MI down to either OH or IN and then grab a load from Frankfort IN to Binghamton NY... who knows by the time they are finished loading my trailer here you might show up

    Yeah those loads going to Binghamton from Frankfort are light and pay pretty darn good.

    Hang in there!! Glad it has gone smoothly all things considered. I'm real curious as to how the cat likes being in the truck. I have seen a couple drivers with cats as a pet in the truck and I would think its probably not a bad idea, I imagine a cat would handle the smaller space better than a dog and would like being able to jump and climb around on everything. Sometimes I wish I had a pet to keep me company, but I feel that I wouldn't be able to provide a dog with enough play time and attention, and I like cats too but I worry that it might eventually get curious and try to escape. I guess a cat, if you had it in the truck since it was a kitten, would probably adapt pretty well.
