    A good breakfast burrito with home fry potatoes, eggs and bacon plus cheese. And a ice cold mountain dew is the breakfast of champions!

    No promises there...

    While we are 48 States, the Eastern States are where many of our customers are located. We run a lot of their freight west and then back haul east... but you will see several green trucks on I40.

    There are several, a few here, that run west a lot but if you come to Abilene, you will see the East... But then they will route you west for home time and runs out that way too.

    I can live with some time out east, good for learning. I know that I've got to put in my time and dues to get better runs. New driver = risk on the part of the company. Taking to drivers at the local TA #####ing about being new drivers. I wish that are educational system could teach a little common sense. Putting a new driver in a rig that costs over 200k to 400k is a huge risk. I had a hard time handing keys to bobtail that cost 90k to driver.

    Left the Colton produce center at 6am yesterday, we are 190 miles to our drop in London, 2165 miles. Me's tired, he's driving, at night, again.

    Chris and I have been discussing the lack of preplanning discussion, unfortunately, it's difficult to justify given the 7000 miles we've run in the past seven days. But, we'll keep trying.
