    I could have been ahead of you and home this evening but swift hit my truck in the yard here in ms yesterday screwed up the whole plan.

    I'll probably only make the 83 in cowpens before I run out of time

    LWood, Yeah I get home for 34-48 hours on the weekends. The cameras don't bother me. If I stay out 8th day, my hours run out. I do primarily the Northeast (PA, NJ, CT). Best of luck, man.

    Superior Carriers out of High Point isn't bad if you don't mind tankers. Lots of out and back freight. Its pretty easy to make 60K with 104 full days off per year. I don't define a weekend off as in Friday/Saturday out Sunday/Monday. 34 hours is not a weekend.

    They mainly hire system drivers starting out. I run strictly dedicated and am rarely out more than 3 nights without getting through the house.

    Wasn't that I let him get that close. He kinda shoved his way in there.

    In front of the shipping office in ecru. Hauling ### like he thought he was at Daytona pissed off cause he couldn't figure out his paperwork coming down there to get someone to explain plain English to him.

    53 with the tandems all the way to the rear cut that corner to the left there way to sharp way too fast and drug the last 1/3 of his trailer across my hood. Real genius that one. Didn't even know he did it till me and the many witnesses pointed out the black stripe down the left side of his trailer

    I was sitting there waiting on paperwork. Happened so fast I couldn't even get to the horn once I saw him turning

    Yeah but I didn't need one for that one. Had about 10 witnesses.

    The guy beside me jumped out of his truck same time I did said when he saw how fast I came out of my truck headed towards that moron he figured he better get there first and get between us so I didn't kill him lol

    LOL, I got a photo of the one the bumped me 3 times and backed up to get by me, and then attempted to take off, so to prevent that, I pulled out and blocked him, until I took some photos, he did not like that to much, but told him he was not going to go any were, deadline or not until I had a chance to look---I haven't figured out how to upload the photos here yet, I would post the photo.
