    Not trying to argue but if some drivers are getting bonuses and other not something needs to be brought up. Who is your DM? Are you dedicated? Or LTL? Just trying to figure this out. Update on our NEW CASCADIA, drives like a Cadillac and rides like one to. Doesn't like hills very much, but we love it.

    Good week here, a little over 3500 miles this week with some work in the shop and 3 tires replaced. All going smooth, gonna drop in Laredo and do a restart. Think I may take my chances and cross the border into Mexico and play tourist. Do some laundry, give the dog a bath and clean the truck up a bit.

    Love this free texas rest area wifi.

    VERY good week for you! And free wifi. What's not to love...? Well, some of the "chances" you might take in Mexico can be not so loved. Be careful.

    Dedicated I believe means you'll get the same routes everyweek and be home probibly every weekend,LTL means LESS THAN TRUCKLOAD means you'll be mostly local and be busting your arse climbing in and out of your trailer loading and unloading unless you can get lumpers....

    Just wanted to say its been real, and its been nice...but it ain't been real nice. Hope everything works out for ya'll. Going to pull a flat bed for Will Transport outta Monroe, La. ....0.38 a mile, tarp money, and home on the week-ends. If I wanna stay out longer I can, and I can wrangle loads for the company off the DAT boards. So look for a Red long-nosed Freightliner going actual traffic speed. Hallelujah!
