    yes iI do....i just did not word it correctly no disrespect to Marten. As for my recruiter this individual did not know what they are governed at. That is
    why i asked on here.

    Just checking in. Been quite busy. Driven 5500 miles in the last ten days. Not bad at all!

    Thats it, well you gotta be pretty beat, but you gotta start something up for your followers here,what kind of loads did you have where'd you go,any trouble,what was interesting that stuck with you, did you have a little frig, having a apu is a big deal but having a little frig is just a big a deal for me. I was taking food stuff from home and putting it in the truck frig then like three weeks later eating it at home,well a couple of peach activa's love those and help's keep you regular , I eat alot of that crap you get at truck stops ,you know grab and go ,I got turned off of subway then back on just for the veggys,oh and chocolate milk I would drink that big bottle,whats that like 32ozs. Well now I should retract some it was low fat if that helps, I didnt belly up to the pizza bar that often , I would get turned off by that 350 lb driver in front of me. I have been off the road for a month now but hope to get back after a little procedure on my leg. chearee O,happy truckin.

    Good running! Took me 14 days to get that at Knight, but I had a couple of days of local work (paid by the hour), and one day where it took me 9 hours to get loaded for a 48 mile run! (Paid for that also, but not enough-DM promised more, think I will have to remind him of what he said, LOL!)

    Glad you are happy with your new carrier, have enjoyed your story since the beginning.

    I've been doing all reefer loads. Did one hazmat. That was good. Been from Cali to Iowa and a lot of places in between so far. No particular load stands out. Typical reefer stuff. Walmart, etc.

    I have a cooler and a microwave now. I may get a cube fridge once I'm done moving to my new house. Cash is scarce right now. All is good.

    Whenever a shipper or receiver is late, I get my detention and someone always answers the Qualcomm. When I need help or info, I get it. So far, so good.
     
    The Challenger and 123456 Thank this.

    Thanks Smaggs, I was kinda joking referring to not having any controversy,any beefs yet, or no tires passing you on the hi-way, no 3 ft pieces I-beam fall off some jokers steel deck pick up and take out the undercarriage of the little pu next to you,which might have come through your big picture window and wiped you out if not for your good luck or that that mom and her screaming kids who just cut you off by a couple of inches. But that stuff comes with the territory,I mean one can stay inside with the curtains closed or get out and see the country,your doing the country a great service,moving the goods,the gov should show more appreciation and make parking easier like around Troutdale,Wa. Well thats another dept on this site,keep up the good work , Yea the APU sure does help makes it easier to fall asleep.cheers

    I just picked up one of your Marten loads at the Caves in Independence Mo last Friday. Interesting place to say the least. I had to call Marten several times throughout the day, checking in, checking out, check call etc...and everyone I talked to was super friendly. Wouldn't ever drive for them but they seemed real nice. I think this was a load save as it picked up at 1300 Friday and delivered in Ft Worth at 0700 on Saturday. Real good experience with them from my perspective.
     
    Smaggs Thanks this.
