    How much you think you'll make by the end of the year?

    Few weeks out from the 1 year mark, but have put 135,000 miles on the truck. With performance and safety bonuses, comes out to 91,800 with a few weeks left to go, so I’d guess around 97k for just miles and the easy bonuses. With detention, stops, northeast pay, etc., should be a tick over 100k.

    I stay out longer than most would want to though, so probably not accurate numbers for those doing a little more balanced approach regarding hometime

    What is Schusters home time policy, is it typical one week for one day off?

    That’s a pretty good description of the feeling :D very much dependent on runs for how tolerable. Spending a few weeks running back and forth from Iowa to Wisconsin or Ohio definitely drags, but had 6 or 7 west coast runs with good weather in the last couple months, which made the time pass a bit faster. Very luck of the draw here

    it’s the 3-5 days before getting home and leaving home that seem to drag the most for me, so I just like riding out the ‘groove’ in the middle a bit longer

    I believe so for most of the country. Most places are minimum 3 weeks, I think. Maybe 4 if someone’s in the Bay Area or somewhere a bit trickier. Some as little as 2 if it’s primary running lanes

    Regional home weekends stuff for IA, NE, eastern South Dakota, etc.

    Home daily stuff around Sioux City, Le Mars, etc

    Are they getting any internationals with the new S13 drivetrain or are they all Cummins? And you guys have Carrier APU's right? Are they getting the new Aspen units?
