    He doesn't have time to do much else. He has to be in Springfield, MA by 0930 Wed am.

    Good run! Long as he keeps rolling he'll be fine

    Would be easier if the guy who abandoned the truck hadn't got himself governed to 57. Gonna have to poke him about get that back up to 62. In cases like this where it's reaching to hit the right spots in the 11, being able to push the cub to 60 would be helpful.

    Is it 57 on the pedal or cruise?

    57? That's crawling, bro. My trainer used to have me do 55 with the OCCASIONAL 57-58 in his Cascadia. Great guy though, I'd recommend him to anyone, but anyway...

    Not sure, either way, it's SLOW going.

    Oan: i like prime thus far and i am looking forward to sticking out my year with the company, does anyone know how to get a regional run after i finish my TnT? I live in Houston and im not sure how likely i am to get a regional run, but i remember putting regional on my app... does anyone know who i would talk to about that.... BTW: i am still at home, hopefully being paid since i was available since thursday... but it has been a week now... my trainer had to get back to Springfield yesterday to get her apu installed... i am just waiting on her to come and get me....i am ready to get back on the road.... hopefully i can get this TnT out of the way before the new years... Also:
    My trainer told me that jan.- march that business is very slow and that there would be weeks where there is no miles or very little miles.... what would the company drivers do in times like that? we'd be making no money, or would they compensate?
