    We are on I-10 in X. Heading to Portland. We are always out of hours. A good thing. 7300 miles last week. We do put on chains as we hate to sit around. Not making $$$ when the wheels are not turning. We just drive slow20-25 mph tops.

    Let's see, we got a load out of Cali to Phoenix. No mt in Phoenix. Picked up a load at the drop yard that had no BOL...grrrr. Delivered that then picked up something going back to Cali. That student was over 120 hours by then. The training coordinator wanted him in Irving so naturally they gave us a load to NY, routing us nowhere near Dallas. Made arrangements to drop him off at Markham. They bussed another student up to Markham from TH. As we were getting ready to head out to NY we got a msg to drop that and head up to Milwaukee. Picked up a load there and delivered a couple hours away. Then we deadheaded back to the same place in Milwaukee, picked up another load and delivered that this morning in TN. Now picking up something tomorrow at the Total yard and delivering 15 miles from there. Then we pick up at the same place and head to Laredo.

    Whew...now you are officially caught up.

    That is one thing Vince. At least training gives you the opportunity to see the whole country
