    Just read all these pages of content and definitely interested in making the move to Shipex. Got to wait till December for my rookie preventables to leave my record. Currently doing Walmart dedicated with my company, been wanting to do OTR again, but don't want to do it with my current company. Be safe everybody, hopefully I'll be over there soon!

    Went ahead and put in application after talking to recruiter. Preventables that I have may not be an issue according to recruiter. Shouldn't hit anything period, but it happens. Just little rookie booboos. Will keep you updated on what happens.

    Heyyy hey.. Well first time for everything. Was supposed to get home for Easter to spend some fun time with the grandson but ... Got to Salt Lake and there was no load going home. :biggrin_25516:Ughh. Disappointed, frustrating but it is what it is.

    However they did have a load i could swap with another driver which would put me home the day after Easter (3 days late). Grandson wouldn't be there tho.
    Wife and I decided to just to keep running and get miles for bonus. The hometime plan got blown out so what was the point in going.

    So far staying out to get the miles is looking good. Should get into bonus mile zone above 12000 somewhere

    Keep on running!

    When they loaded me up out of Salt Lake last week it was with a run down to Dallas. After Dallas delivered then picked up out of Grand Prairie TX and delivered that to COKE in Denver. Extremely difficult getting in around COKE there is construction everywhere.

    Usually out of Denver we will pull a load to Salt Lake but not this time. Picked up a load of Organic Milk and headed
    to Elkton Maryland. Currently in Iowa and on schedule for Monday delivery

    Truck on

    Nothing like those longer runs. Shipex won't take me till December so I decided to go OTR refrigerated with my company. Be safe driver!
