    I have a feeling it is about hometime...not sure though. Still we are happy. We HAVE to go to the house for two days this trip...if it was not for having to do something we would stay out till Fall.

    Well there are 4 nine axle trailers in the yard and TWO more in the way in....not sure if they are quitting or got fired....anyway if you are reading this and have VERIFIABLE exp and are interested in multi axle...give Cheryl a call....just remember home time is every 3 months for 5 days PAID....we stay out longer cause we want to...not cause they make us. The issue right now is we HAVE to go home to do something...and they are so short right now it makes it hard on the ones still here to get home.

    I have seen quite a few Combinded Transport units on the road, mostly flats and drops. From the loads I have seen they are some pretty tough hauls.

    One driver in Barstow had crates around 14 feet tall and was retarping then with tarps as big as sail boat sails.

    I think it might run longer on home time.
    Got a buddy of mine there. He kinda stays home a bit longer at times.
    You gotta remember though these drivers a paid salary. Even on home time.
    He's been flown home quite a few times when his home time was coming up. They paid the tickets also
