    My buddy didn't get along with his dispatcher when he was at PGT. That could have something to do with why that dude isnt getting loads

    Nah his first week out his dispatcher was on vacation. It just seems like he's slipped through the cracks a bit.

    Well I am still here and am still happy. I have been running hard last week and all week this week. I finally got a min to relax. I asked my dispatcher to keep me out this weekend so I can make some extra money. I have been making about 1k a week still, but I want more. I am up in Lebanon PA now. I am hoping to get a long haul to FL or TX or somewhere warm. It is Fing freezing up here. I will update again when I can.
     
    Airborne and Logan76 Thank this.

    It's about 40 degrees in Chicago right now. Not bad, it was 60 yesterday if you can believe it.

    Yeah It warmed up today as I was driving. I was looking at the news last night and it looked like Iowa was getting pounded with a winter storm so I figured that it would be the same over there. How are the roads there. I had to shut down in south bend IN Because I didn't want to push it on my hours. I will head in to Chicago tomorrow around 0400

    Nope I am here at tbe pilot with 23 min left on my drive line and no parking so I made some by the scale. I wasted a bunch of time in obio. I bought a new cb. I had a bear cat 880 and bought a 150w amp. Still no good. Bought a new antenna and coax last week and saw some improvment, but still weak. So today I was fed up and spent about 400 on a stryker sr 497 hpc and a astatic mic. The dude at the cb shop in perrysberg oh just couldnt focus on selling and kept talking so it was about 2.5 hours wasted. I am happy with my set up for now though.
     
    Airborne Thanks this.
