    It's been a while since I stopped at that Pilot.

    I'm just trying to find a 'driver friendly' place. With all the behind the scenes pressure the Feds are putting on doctors with the 'guidelines' that aren't approved regulations, I don't want to stumble on the wrong place.

    There's a clinic at the Pilot in Knoxville at exit 398 on I-40. I can only imagine that they would be driver friendly.

    That is the clinic I used and have no issues with them.

    Finished 2016 strong and wound up rolling 133594 miles for the year (paid short miles here)
    Gross was $ 63524.49 not including esop.

    Home pretty much every weekend, but don't assume it's just a 34..freight depending could be a 34 up to 3 days off..I pretty much make my schedule w/o grief from Big G.

    However, this month will be my last here as my plans to move west has accelerated and should be out there early 2018. (vegas area )

    Sold our property in Winnemucca NV and sold my other project car (85 capri), current house is going on the market here soon.

    Decided to get my foot in the door with a western outfit to get some time in with them prior to moving, wife and I are antsy to get west..We are tired of humid weather and the east coast.

    The company is one Tow has worked for and is a dedicated route out of Kingsport Tn, once west I will convert over to western 11 regional.Will take a hit on pay but want to get a foot in the door as Big G isn't an option in LV.

    My time here has been good and my current DM is great, but West I must go !!!

    Can't comment on the medical portion here as I dont use it.

    YMMV

    On a side note..not being fully vested for esop I will forfeit that amount back to the company.

    And NO its not Heartless/Gordon..lol, but they are "Green"

    Best of luck.

    Btw, who is your DM. I have heard that the person on the office side of the qcomm makes as much of a difference as the one driving the truck.

    Ahh yes. .
    You will probably like them out west...

    Hate to see you go but I understand why. I would move to Vegas in a heartbeat if it were just me but I wouldn't be driving a truck.

    Good luck to you...

    Your misses must be a fairly light smoker for you guys to still be able to get that deal.
