USX drivers...how's your day??

We only go "home" about every other time. We have family all over the country and we vist someone every couple of months. We take home time in FL, WA, CO, CA, DC & WI

 

We have been sitting at a rest stop on I80E about xt194 since about noon. No way around 80 being closed. Supposed to be in Lewiston ME in 9 hours...not gonna happen.

 

lol...I guess that would depend on if the roads are open eh'? All the new technology and they can't wrap their heads around this one! It's only getting worse from what I have researched since this morning. Good luck to you.

 

This line of work is like most others. It's a never ending game of education and one should respect the education. I can't get in right now (suspended license for insurance violation) but i do understand the value of learning.

 

i remember back in 05 when i drove for trans am, and they gave me directions and i called them and told them they where wrong. they asked how come and i said the exit u said to take is no longer their. the dp asked how do i know and i said because i just passed by it and the sign said this exit is no longer available. and i still had to call the shipper to get directions.. go figure..

 

NEVER depend on anyone or any one thing for the correct directions,,,always use multible avenues...ie; Map, given directions, GPS (I use two) and phone numbers to point A & B.... Works for me everytime,,,that is until I get complaicent...

 

Durring orientation a guy asked if he could take his hometime anywhere he wanted, instructor said yes... When we got hired, we were given the manual.. I looked it over, as I always do and lo and behold...it states: "Home time location to be taken within 50 miles of principle residence of record for the driver. In the absence of a principle residence of record, the home time location will be observed within an area of fifty miles from their home domicile location". I also know that I saw somewhere where they will allow up to two time per year, hometime to be taken anywhere in the country.... I believe that was in a power point message...cant seem to find it in the book...

At anyrate,,very glad they allow you to take yours wherever you want to,,don't see no reason why they shouldn't, even from a business point of view...be safe out there

 

SheepDog, which 2 gps system's do you use. i am looking to get one but haven't decided which one is best. I am trying to get a friend of mine to go get his cdl to team but he is on the ropes about it, so although i think i would enjoy teaming, i still don't know if i will team or go solo.

 

Headed to Phoenix then hopefully Cali was in ATL and it was slooooow
