    If
    With how the rates are atm will be out of that radius quite a bit. Keeping an eye on some mid west loads....paying out the ###, ~2500 for 500-600mi coming back east. Now that you can get 2.50 a mi or so going west out of here its worth it. A lot less hassle than stringing together 4-5 short ones for the wk.

    Seeing lots of Findlay/Toledo loads coming back to Allentown

    Busy... kids are running me ragged! You think I'm old, but I wanna see you keep up with a 4 year old while helping coach and encourage a 19 year old thru her sophomore year of college, and have time helping a high school senior plan the rest of his life... while maintaining two trucks and trailers and working too! Honestly, I wouldn't trade it all for the world :D

    Right, you have a exempt truck. Run a time card everyday your close to home. Then fill out a comic book when you go further or lay over.

    Hey hey hey, I never outright called you old, I just like to joke hahaha speaking of “planning the rest of your life” I keep bouncing back to wanting to be a cop, totally bought the whole “make a difference” slogan when it comes to being a police officer and similar professions

    Local drivers usually are.

    The conditions were beginning and ending your day at the same place every day, staying within 100 air miles of that point, and not working more than 12 hours.

    I was right there man... when we were getting ready to leave Iraq it dawned on me it'd be the perfect time for a career change back in civilian life. I started emailing and collecting info on becoming a pennsylvania state trooper. I more or less said to hell with it when they told me I'd have to do a form of basic training all over again. I still kinda wonder 'what if' , but im happy with life as it is.
