    Then I would have said hi to that guy, if I had put two brain cells together. Oh well, it would have been good to meet you. Be safe.

    Home time mostly depends on where you live. But they like for you stay out at least two weeks at a time.

    Yes they are on e-log. Keep the driver door shut and you can still get miles. I averaged 600,- 650 a day, have ran 692 before.

    ####, you beat my best! I got at most 681... but I hit every #### scale across I10 that time too.

    While we have the elogs I hate this system... seems there is just no logic on how it does what it does. This is the first week I went without a restart.. and it appears as though the rollover hours its picking up are magically appearing from nowhere. I kept track of what i've had the last 9 days.. and not one day have I actually picked up what I had the previous 7 days before... yesterday I should have picked up 4... since last friday I drove 4.. yet I picked up over 13... and thursday I didnt pick up 4, nor this morning. So where its coming up with its figures I have not a clue. I thought i'd never say this.. but I miss Qualcomm.

    Got stuck in Colorado Springs today after having delivered in Denver yesterday. Not the worst of places.. I lived here for 8 years so I have a ton of friends here. Been a great weekend thus far and still going tonight! Then, tomorrow headed to Raton for a sheetrock load, pickup monday, headed to Sacramento for a...friday delivery? I hope they'll take it a day early!

    The 692 was from Lebanon, TN to just outside Hershey, PA. Could have got over 700, but an accident had traffic slowed for a few minutes.

    You are in a very good location.
