    I've really enjoyed reading this thread. I reached out to contact with GO and Jerrod responded the next day with lots of useful information. I live in St. Louis and he explained it wouldn't be an issue getting me back to restart at the house. But as luck would have it due to some circumstances I MIGHT be moving to Kansas City. Do most guys run 48 or do they offer regional as well? Thanks in advance to any and all replies!

    My week so far, after the delivery near Oakland on Monday I headed down to L.A. for my second drop. Called the receiver and they told me when I'm late that day they charge overtime. Was told I can back to a dock and stay there overnight. Saved the money for overtime and had a place to park overnight >>> win win :)

    Picked up at two shippers and went to Denver. Resetting my hrs here and pick up noon heading back to Omaha, then back to Cali and home the end of next week. That's the plan.
    Was lucky when I went over Vail and Eisenhower on Wednesday, started snowing and roads were slippery, but no chain law.

    According to Brent we got some new freight lanes and need to fill a few trucks, we have to turn down loads because we have not enough drivers. :(

    Was back on the yard at midnight, Saturday morning the truck was in the shop for a PM and my load was ready after the truck was done. On the way to L.A. now for a Tuesday morning delivery.

    Great day today, was at my first drop short before 6 this morning, second drop done before my appointment, picked up 2 picks near and in L.A. and was loaded at 1:20 PM :)
    Made it out of L.A. before rush hour and made 353 miles before I ran out of hours. Stopped with 2 minutes left on the clock :cool:
    On the way to Denver now.
