    It was nice to meet you as well. As far as multiple loads go, that was one of the smoothest ones I think I've ever been involved in. I think everybody is probably done by now. Mine had one of those really wide suckers on it that they couldn't fit they the door, but they got it off anyway. Got my orders about 45 minutes later for Lakeland up to Fredericksburg. If they get me loaded fast enough, maybe I can get them to let me drop on the yard and keep rolling. Doesn't deliver until Thursday 6 am and we should be to the yard tomorrow around 2 pm if all goes well.

    Cant believe this. MT at 8:03am, sitting 169 miles from the yard and not hearing anything. 14 has now crossed my 11 and now I have 5:15 left to drive. Got 22 left on the 70 with no recap in sight. Gee, ya think maybe a DH to the yard is in order?

    3 free forms and a talk with Alan and nothing. After 2 piss poor pay periods I'm about out of rope here. :(

    New trip plan: (maybe, lol)

    Drop our current load at West Memphis, I take trainers truck with a new load bound for Richmond, trainer jumps in a recovered truck that also needs to be in Richmond.

    I test out and trainer goes on home time.

    Use the "previous" button on the graph screen and it will show you the previous day. Each block of time will show time started and the duration.

    Should be simple arithmetic to add sleeper time before midnight.

    Oh wait, you were an accountant, forget the above just wait until the QC adds it up for you. :)

    On graph screen you have the bars, and if you look to the right above bars, but below tabs, you will see the date with directional arrows. It keeps last 7 days just like paper.

    If u click on the blue bars it will give details such as duration and start time. I do alot of splits and this makes it super easy to figure out your times.

    How does the truck drive though?. If its pulling fine i would keep running.

    My first trainers volvo dash was lit up like Vegas. 3 or 4 warning lights one of which was check engine.

    Truck didn't seem to care what the lights were so we kept rolling.
