    Miles have been hit or miss for me. I've had a lot of weeks where there's lots of dead time. But I've also had a couple weeks recently where I was running pretty decent (all drop and hooks, no dead time). I wasn't getting crazy high miles (a little over 3000 a week) but I felt productive and had 2-3 decent checks in a row. I think they are trying to spread the loads out a little bit to keep everybody mostly running. Overall I'm not doing great this quarter, about 17.5 as of the last settlement (but I was broke down for a week).

    That's Eric's theory for why most of these are leaking. He was kind of annoyed last time I talked to him because the Love's I stopped at to get a tire fixed and they sold night dispatch a r&r of the gaskets which left it leaking worse than before they touched it.

    Is Kalmbach a new customer, or have I just been lucky? Real nice folks, but “painfully” doesn’t even begin to describe the slow around here. My schedule is going to be jacked.

    I was there today too. Had a noon appointment, got there at 10:00, didn't pull out til 15:00. Just shut down here in Illinois. That place was ridiculous.

    Not sure. There were 3 of us here when I pulled in.

    :edit: No indication in the load info.

    I was late, since I had to put this trailer in the shop, so I understand having to wait. 12 hours seems a little much. Just now got a door.

    Carey, OH?

    The place doesn't have the most stellar reviews

    53 degrees this morning outside Hartford, CT. Good sleeping weather with no APU running so it’s nice and quiet too.
