    Correct. I would advise requesting the detention during a weekday on a mac53. That way the xpay people get it and it's not buried somewhere.

    1bad, again, you are wrong. Original estimates were 1/2 mile, after they were able to examine, it was ruled it left a path of 1 mile destruction. And the national weather service is still trying to determine if reports are true as to one tornado staying on the ground for 200 miles through Mississippi and into Aabama, but they still have to determine if that is in fact the case. if it would have been one, it is a lot further than 200 miles from Tuscaloosa to Ringgold, GA. Original reports are not always accurate. Don't bash me until you know all complete facts, and thank you so much for the concern considering our family was in the middle of the crap. I was the one trying to make sure my family was safe and directing them to shelter because the sirens stopped working. Whatever, be a jerk.

    In case you feel the need to try to prove me wrong, as of right now, the data is still being analyzed by the NWS. Feel free to look at their webpage.

    And the next time you get to get a prescription filled at the same place you have for 10 years, or stop for gas at the same store you always have (and they remember your name, birthday, and anniversary), or get your groceries at the same place you have, then count yourself lucky. It took us days to hear from our son's fiance' who attends Alabama. You have no idea the sheer torture I went through that day, nor how much I had to keep myself distracted, and I pray you never experience it, as I am sure your family is sleeping in their beds with electricity and water. I count myself lucky that all of my family survived, and am well aware of the devastation this storm caused.

    I am sorry for going off, but you have no clue what it was like to experience that day from my end. We were lucky. Now, if you want to quibble about the facts, wait until the information is finalized.

    Did I say I was unhappy???? He's kept me in Upstate NY at my request and I am Kraft dedicated for the southeast.. I had a personal reason I needed to be in NY for and my DM made sure I was here and rolling..

    Woodchuck: 9K a month.... guess I am even luckier than I thought.. the lease spam said I did 11K in the last 30 days and that is with a couple traiiler break downs, long waits at shippers and hometime.. ohh the paystubs match that total. The fuel bonus is based on a perecentage. < 20% of your total run time over a quarter. Has nothing to do with how many miles you actually run.. Personally I don't see the big deal with fueling where I am asked to fuel and using my comdata card. Even if the fuel routing doesn't match up with the roue path I have had no problems with sending a mac 52 and having them change it.. you just need to give them geography lessons sometimes.. Can't see spending anybody's money on a hotel when my truck is comfortable. Just spent two nights in a motel with my wife and we both almost came out to my truck to sleep..

    I sincerely hope your new job works out for you..

    The ideal thing would have been to research the company before you started. There is a ton of information in the 1500+ pages on here. Have fun reading
