    West Memphis??. I haven't been near that place (or anywhere else on I40) since I was in training the middle of May.

    Just today I deleted it from my gps address book.

    Richmond will be doing the PM. I already know to expect greasy footprints all over the inside from when whoever installed the new camera.

    I will be ready for them this time though. Going to pick up all my mats and remove my gps and sat radio so they don't wind up in a tangled mess again.

    You get the settlements in your email but you have to log on to the Paychex site to view your pay stubs that detail pay and tax and insurance deductions etc.

    Yeah, I only go for service in Richmond if it's the weekend. Barry and Russell are actually the best mechanics Abilene has. Followed by Shane. Don't like anyone else to touch my truck. And considering the fuel filters I had replaced yesterday were black, I'd say they hadn't been replaced ever. Stupid me didn't even really notice since the wrapping around it was white. But, the nice mechanic at the Loves on US 35 in Bidwell OH was the bomb. Showed me how to change both. Volvo folks didn't even look at the fuel filter, even though one of the codes it was showing clearly said check fuel filter. Also, thanks to that same guy for hooking up the truck to the computer for free. That's how I know what the codes mean. Turbocharger underboost and fuel filter. Volvo put a remanufactured turbo on it and still have the same code again. So, parked it at the yard (dear lord all the trucks up there!), got hubby to come pick me up, and now sitting at the house until it's fixed.

    On a different note...your settlement sheet is what comes in the email on Thursday. You can view your actual check stub and get your W-2 from paychex. Not sure of the web address, but call payroll and they should be able to get you pointed in the right direction.

    You were quicker than me on that one. But only because I was typing a book first:)

    I do keep all my scanned paperwork and check them against the settlements every 2 weeks. What I don't do is keep a daily total of my miles.

    Its highly unlikely I will ever ask for runs anywhere in particular. Just don't see it as my place to ask. As the sign says we were hired to run all 48 states and I have no problem with that.

    If someone choses to keep me in just a few of those 48 states, I am not going to complain about it.

    I have already complained and said more on here than I should have and really regret doing so.

    Redtwin you sound like a simple guy like me,never have a problem with were they send me,never will.
    I live in NC,so when I come off home time I'm usually deadheaded to the yard.When I go see dispatch I ask them if they something going that way somtimes they do,sometimes they send me to Jersey,makes no difference to me.
     
    Redtwin and MidWest_MacDaddy Thank this.

    Again, I call BS...

    Do you realize just how negative your word selection is?

    You are only at someone's mercy here if you just set back and wait for stuff to happen.

    Communication in general is very important... And it goes two ways... We don't all get what we want but if you don't ask you won't get.

    Point in fact: with some prodding, YOU called the office and got a "nice" run to Texas... If you had waited until they got to you, who knows. Take that positive experience to GET the ball rolling to KEEP the ball rolling...

    Again, you CAN make a difference!!!

    I want you to be successful here at Abilene.

    Yet another example of being proactive and benefiting from it... :)

    I'm seeing a pattern here... ;-)

    It's the detail of your income but there is an online way to access your actual pay stub that shows taxes and other deductions.
