    Not to say we dont, but NH is second only to S. Dakota in my least traveled states over 3 years. Not counting the stretch of I95, on our way to and from Maine.

    I've had one delivery near Manchester, and that was a local Walmart run out of the Walmart DC in Maine.

    Its funny... I get to quite a different set of shippers and recievers on the lease side. I've been to VT and NH quite a bit in the last year - much less time in ME. Have yet to do a tater run on the lease side - probably jinxed myself now though - LOL!

    Put in for hometime... a range of days works better than a gotta be there by date. Always give advance notice.

    As the day approaches, you'll get a load that finals near your home. Do the load, go empty, ditch the trailer at the appropriate spot, bobtail home.

    Heading out is the reverse... gotta be back at the truck before 1000 on your specified departure day. The only changes from that are if you're company living near a terminal. You may be required to park the tractor at the terminal, and find a different way to the house.

    You might be able to latch on to the regional work we're doing out of the Lewiston Walmart or get a gig running (more or less) regional northeast in one of the lightweight trucks. I hear it pays well.

    Yup there's that and some general purpose regional work for the company guys. I"ve heard there's a regional deal working out of Schenectady NY too.

    Whaddya mean don't like the northeast? Loosers... good place to make a living at. Speaking of which, gotta git goin - in Springfield MA, going to Jessup MD, via loading at Schenectady NY today!
