    You can give your KW to me! I won't mind, I promise.

    Thanks for the info Larry. I thought I heard something about biweekly. Is the bonus based on a two week period or two one week periods?

    Thinking about going east coast sooner or later. I'm trying to get myself on a weekend hometime schedule but now the weather will fight me again this week I guess. I wanted to turn and burn this trip but my almost 34 last week screwed me, so I have to do a 34 after I get out of here. I guess I should be thankful I'm on the east side. I'm in a door here at Sygma Harrisburg then I'm going home, perhaps on off duty driving *gasp*.

    Anyone know the official new guidelines on that? I know at Central they only let you do it bobtailing, and cannot be towards a load or even an empty. Oh and you need to be a rental operator at Central to do it.

    i drove someones KW to Eddies and i hated how the seat was in that thing, i couldn't lay it back like i do my pete!!! i've just been a peterbilt man all my life from a kid to now!! but i guess i'll get adjusted to it, and the sleeper is not bigger by much... they both are tight squeezes in between the seats... but i just rather keep my pete as long as i can especially after i've gotten 4 new batteries and other work done to it...

    and bbechtel16, as one of the younger drivers on the fleet im a rebel! i usually don't care and do else wise but you can go to the house if your out of hours and just let the saftey man know as long as your empty or bobtailing.. i mean hell he'll be calling me tomorrow since i drove 15 mins over my 11 going back to Waynesboro from Front Royal today but hey, ##### happens...but on a serious note i really thought i had enough time to get back, it usually takes 1:24 drive time getting up there but today with no traffic it took 1:36 and i dont have a clue why!!

    Brian, the bonus is based on two weeks so if you go over the first week you can balance it out the second, well I guess I'll be late tomorrow, currently sitting in the flying J at Spiceland In. freezing rain and sleet, fun stuff I may be here until Wednesday? :biggrin_25521:

    Thanks for the info Larry. Do we have a pet policy? You all stay safe out there tonight. I just got a door after two hours here in Landsdale, PA. So much for getting a jump on the storm...

    I've seen pictures of the Chicagoland area and it looks like a complete disaster area! Luckily I slid through when it was just freezing rain. Be safe guys.
