    I'm close enough. I was with Roehl for a few weeks before my wife had medical issues.

    Other than those few weeks, that has been it for me. @Flattie C is another as well.

    No man. It was stupid and unfamiliar to me. Who woulda thought you pay a toll 2 times? (Red faced)

    As far as ruined? Not a chance brother. I still say night time is right time for trucking. ;)

    So, I'm at the dock here at OHL. I'm early and they do work by appointment but said they may get to me pretty quick.

    Amazing, in this 3 square mile industrial complex that has litteraly every big known shipper right up to a Amazon DC, with all kinds of manouver room, the inbound here gets shoved around back to a 12 door section definately built for day cabs and less than 53's .... LOL

    At times, ya just gotta love the overwhelming logic of it all. :)

    Nope, an older Volvo. 1425

    Just spoke with Rachel about getting my cpm right and corrected on my first settlement. She said she'd look into it and do so if anyone confirms it. So I sent a freeform to Alan asking him to do so. We spoke about it via QC on the 18th.

    So let's see, that now makes all but the owner's hats I wear? Dispatch, load planner (well finder/fixer), mechanic, DM, payroll and .... ummm ... oh yes, Driver!

    Yep! It's trucking alright! :D

    Alan just wrote back saying it should reflect on my next check. Hope so. I hate having to keep tracking details for too long.

    No load yet though. I hate Mondays :(
