    I decided to start our own thread separate from American-Truckers since hes not with the company anymore. So, where ya at?

    After delivering my copper plates in Denton, TX from a mine in Marana, AZ I headed to the Fort Worth yard to pick up a fluid cylindar and taking it to a job site in Stevens Point, WI for an 8a unload. I'm sitting at the T/A in Strattford, MO resetting and will finish up tomorrow.

    After i'll probably end up with a load from Milwaukee WI after headed to Houston, then home after that... loaded or not is yet to be decided. They've deadheaded me home before from Houston, and i've hauled drill pipe north for a TCall in FW.. so who knows.

    I live in the Bryan College Station area. Questions - 1. How good is LS about getting you home when you want? 2. How long do you normally stay out? I know this varies but just trying to get a feel.

    Home time is important to me but it is not number one. I am just want to know if there is any ######## on getting home! Because i have worked for companies before that give you the run around about getting back. Typically i stayed out 3 to 6 weeks. But no i do not want to go somewhere where i ask to go home and i get some ######## about no loads at this time or go here and sit for a day or if i stay out 5 weeks and i want to stay off 5 days, i do not get any ######## about coming back on the road after 2 days home. Not yelling just got the caps on.

    College station shouldn't be too hard to get you home. They would probably just deadhead you home from any of the numerous amounts of crap we haul to houston.

    Pneumatic trailer? Could have been an owner op... heck I dunno. That ones new for me. I saw our local daycab in Fort Worth hooked to a 53' van.. thats rare to see too since we don't have the goodrich account anymore.
