    I'm sure I will move up to a 2015 next year. To be honest though I'd rather not have brand new. You would be responsible for every little nick.

    No Christmas bonus here but last year they gave me a long load (CO to VA) with lots of time built in so I was able to stop off in Lincoln, NE for a Night to visit good friends and then in Paris, IL to surprise my family on Christmas morning... so it worked out in many ways.

    Same thing happened over thanksgiving last year, they gave me a load to Florida with lots of time in it so I stopped in SC to grab turkey dinner with the in laws.

    I only have the one holiday season here but feels like they give loads with lots of time on them so everything is on autopilot through the holiday.

    So don't get you hopes too high and start looking for people to visit between here and there.

    Personally I liked the extra time on the loads but I was able to actually use it to visits folks along the way.


    Stay Safe

    Probably needed drivers to drive whereas our normal customers either break (hp) for the holidays or stock up prior (Sabra) to the holiday.

    Just random speculation here.

    We just had free grilled burgers the other week... what more would we want... :)

    Did anyone hear if they are offering a few free company shirts for Christmas like they did last year? I bought a couple more of those since they were only $15 for extra ones.

    Have not heard anything this year.
     
    Lonesome Thanks this.
