    Gallup NM, November 2007. I40 was COMPLETELY covered in icy slush from the almost blizzard the night before.

    Woke up, seems like the TA lot was almost dry, so I ventured out going east. About 5 miles down the road, there were piles of trucks all over the place. On the side on the shoulder, jacked and on their side in the median, and one nasty accident where a guy came off the onramp, ran into a big truck, and was thrown out. His body and his left arm were in two different places.

    Still..... supertruckers were blazing by me like I was standing still.

    JET-Lag is in the flatbed division of Maverick. I think the furthest west he has run so far has been Oklahoma or Kansas (I am geographically challenged so not sure which it the furthest west). Right now he is in Marianna, Florida which is the furthest east he has run. He has been in his own truck since October 13, 2011 and think he has run a couple of runs around Indiana or Illinois since then but he seems to be mostly doing Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Georgia, Alabama area (this was his first run to Florida).

    No, but I do look at the QualComm info I can get on my computer and print them up every couple of months. Since JET-Lag started with Maverick, he has traveled through (not necessarily picked up in or delivered in) the following states: Alabama, Arkansas (well, we live in this state but he has picked up in and delivered in this state so I count it!), Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia.

    Since I trust my husband, I see NO reason to follow his progress ALL my time on Google Maps.

    He has stated that he is in the US division.

    I know of two companies in FL looking for Teams but you must have at least two years for lead drivers in one and four years at the other. Refrigerated Express (four years required) out of Cocoa FL is always looking and Benny Whitehead (two years exp for lead driver) out Eufaula AL is another that do coast to coast runs. All the flower haulers out of FL would be some other choices.
