    Guarantee if yall stayed out like me ur miles would skyrocket especially if either of you have troy, I know everybody can't do it but that's just kinda how it works. I went home every other weekend for like a month or two bout a year ago and I almost went broke.

    Ha Troy used to crack me up. I used to sit in the chair behind him sometimes when he was on the phone and rock back and forth so it would creak. I think he liked it even though he pretended it drove him crazy.

    Yea we have fun, honestly if it weren't for him I would have been in the flatbed div already but I'm not giving up a good friend and fm. Some things money can't buy.

    Flatbed is the way to go the dispatchers over there are way better than those slacker van dispatchers. I just wonder who is going to handle the owner ops when Grandpa retires.

    only problems I've had in van are the junk trailers. Other than that the miles are well.

    Glad to hear the miles are good, gotta like that. Sometimes I think I miss working there, but then I realize I have way less stress in my life now so I'm glad we moved. Best of luck to you guys, after seeing some of the other options out there I can appreciate how good Roehl really was to their drivers.
