    I would choose Crete as well. Never worked for them, but I did do solo with USX and wasn't happy.

    USX won't want to let you get home every 3 weeks.

    WOW, I did not know she smoked. This has to make it more difficult to be teaming?? I would think with you in the truck it would help her to quit??

    SheepDog, I'll keep your wife in my prayers. I know, that for myself, smoking is the only thing that keeps me running hard.

    Sounds good for you. You will be making more, no? The way you worded it is a little confusing. Your boss makes 2.50 and you get a part of that now?

    Just remember you will need some money in the bank for maint and repairs.

    Well my day is starting out just lovely. We are on a run from SC to Chicago. I wake up and stick my head up front and am surprised to see we are in Toledo. I had to call dispatch and let them know we are going to be 2 hours late.

    I can't take this anymore. I think I need a therapist.:biggrin_2551:

    Dropped off our Fedex load. Now sitting at the 49er in West Sacramento. Does anyone else think the CA dispatchers aren't exactly on the ball?
