    Ended up delivering on Thursday at 0400 and picked up a load in Kennewick WA and on my way to Front Royal Virginia. Im running on whatever I pick up at midnight so it will be a deliver when I can load, which is still ok by me. I hate losing 3K mile loads!!

    Well I may be coming on board very soon just got off the phone with Don... He has my app in hand and told me to look no further that my app looked really good and he would try to get me into orientation on the 29th. He said he just needs to get final approval on it and he would call me back later on tonight or first thing in the morning. It will be nice to work for a good company I was about ready to give up on finding one after my last stint with Werner... I knew better then to go that way I was leaning towards Furniture Express then and had a close friend who worked for Werner talk me into going with them... That lasted about 3 Mo and I just could not take that anymore always setting and the planners and FM's were horrible and acted like they owned you I came off of hometime and turned my truck in and told them this was not working for me. I can kick myself for not going with FRE then and that was all I could think about when driiving ...lol...#### Like I said I knew better...But now hopefully I will make the right choice go with FRE like I started to do in the first place. I think a big plus for me also is being from Georgia he said they are looking for a few drivers from this area... I just hope he gets that final approval but he seemed pretty positive when he told me to look no further... And told me he would try to get me in on the 29th... Hope to meet some of you then if that happens... He seemed most interested in my driving record and rather or not I had any accidents and both of those are spotless...

    Yep preloade Tennessee man. Was on my way down the road but my curse got me. Needed two lights fix and the abs warning was going off. So after a TA shop for the lights and a great Dane shop for the abs and a few hundred dollars in t-check with about a 80 mile round trip added to my load I am back on the road a running. Well at less its another good trl that some driver will get after I am done with it.

    Good to hear justtrucking. Your in a good spot for the loads we get as far as home time. Also you will like it better. They are laid back but are starting to get a lot more loads so it is getting busy here. Also your driving record is about the major thing they look at. I wish you luck and keep us updated on how it goes.

    Well here in Davenport, IA going to deliver at 1530. Have another load. picks up in Waterloo, IA tonight and going to Sherman, TX early Friday morning. Planners say it is a 28 hour trip with a 10 hour break but I only have 26 hours for the next 3 days. Will see how it goings. Might have to swap it out being it is a Tyson load and they are something special.....lol. Well at less I am busy and not sitting like I would be with some other company I will not speak of....lol. Have a good day everyone and have a great time at home Tennessee man.
