    Back home. I left at 1pm yesterday, swapped with a driver at Saint Mary's Ga at the Pilot, then drove back home and delivered about a mile from my house. Now I just got dispatched for another swap at the same place with another driver going to Lakeland for the morning. The nice part about this? Getting layover pay of $150 for yesterday and today for the lack of miles, even though the miles aren't that bad. Time to get ready, my break is up at 10:30, then I need to roll.
     
    FLATBED and Lonesome Thank this.

    Heading to the West Memphis Yard to drop this load and pick up one heading to Reno.... Lots of time between the Midwest and West Coast this time out... Mostly West Coast.

    Load is due in Reno Friday morning but trainer doesn't have hours so they moved the drop to Monday morning... So now we are pick up today with drop off on Monday ... And it only takes 3 driving shifts to get there... Guess we will be babysitting a load of Volvo parts all weekend. {sigh}

    Hi all!

    I am officially unemployed as of today, and will be in Richmond on Monday to start orientation! I am excited as #### and hope I get to meet everyone I have seen on here at some point.
