    Yea that's what I was told 150 hours. I'm thinking I'm gonna try and just bring a duffel bag of clothes and stash some snacks in there with them. A sleepin bag and pillow. Try and keep my stuff as little as possie for when I'm out with someone

    as a solo you will be seeing a lot of both anyway

    NE regional for the most part is anything NE of the I-80/I-81 most of the time = shorted runs
    E regional is again for the most par east of I-81

    now with that said solo's otr spend most of you time east of I-35

    4 days off a month

    One day off for every week out

    Home time sucks. Good thing is that they get you home on time.
