    Hey guy, thanks for the post. TMC states that because of where we live, we should be home 46 out of 52 weekends. However, every TMC driver that I have spoken to states they get home every weekend, unless they choose to stay out.

    Thats right, Indy. I took a hot shower in the drivers lounge. Its not a 5 star resort, but the water is hot. I have my own towel and I always where shower shoes in public showers. Its better than going dirty and stinky.

    Hey Blind! Enjoyed reading the post here. I am about to start week 4 with my trainer! I have had a lot of fun and also glad I chose TMC. It has been a lot to learn and try to retain. Very overwhelming, and can only imagine the "oh crap" thoughts of I am by myself now! I am already starting to get those thoughts now! I am very excited about having my own space and not that small top bunk though lol! For the next 2 weeks I will be in 91137. If you see us please say Hi! See you out there!
     
    Blind Dog Thanks this.

    Sorry bro it wasn't me. Friday we did not hit a truck wash. Thursday we emptied in Jacksonville, NC and took a load of lumber to Baltimore. We delivered at midnight there and went to Tamko to get a pre-loaded trailer of shingles and go. The rent a cop there was not a pleasant lady to say the least. We got held up till 6am, so Friday we just burned the road up for the weekend at home!

    Well, I made it home friday around midnight. Spent Saturday going to Walmart for items for the truck. I made the bed up for real. No more sleeping bag for me. My load is supposed to be delivered on Monday. So I look at the atlas and find that its about 450 miles to the consignee. So I figure about 9 hours of driving, right? So I leave the house at 1400 eastern, should easily get there around 2200. WRONG!!! Supid West Virginia mountains. I gotta say it aint much fun driving I77 on a rainy night. I didnt make any time at all. Half the time I spent in 6low, around 30 mph. Cant make time that way. So instead of sleeping at the consignee, Im down for my 10 in an over crowded rest area off I79 in w.v. After my 10, I still have at least an hour more to drive.At least the bunk is super comfortable.
