    Has anyone got the Performance/Mileage bonus thing yet?

    It's supposed to be $.xx/per mile after 21,000 miles.

    Also is that by calendar month or hire date?
    I'm team by the way.

    Been a good couple of days. Thank heavens. Was beginning to think the gremlins had it in for me. Right now sitting in Columbia Missouri at Midway truck stop. Waiting to get some ink from Geno. Been wanting to stop here again for a while. Haven't had the opportunity in over a year. Deliver in the morning to Lanter in Lexana KS. In the dang caves. They always freak me out. Wish me luck. It's a Pella load so it's a live unload...in the caves. Did I mention it is in the caves? LOL Can you say claustrophobic, anyone?!?!?

    Take pics, if its allowed that is. Sounds like fun.

    Ink=tattoo? What design/art/graphic are you getting? By the sound of it, you rate Geno as top notch.

    It's a pocketwatch with roses design. The watch has the date that my grandma passed away. Not sure how to post pics on here. I took video of the caves. Super tight in that one. I had been in the ones in Springfield MO before. Much more room and taller ceiling height. These made me feel very closed in.

    Okay I'm back. One week of Walmart felt like forever, all short hops of 100 or less and a couple 265 mile runs between DC's. Jonathan called me Sun and asked what I was doing. Gave him a little told you so and chuckled. He said a cpl days and I said I would get lost in the system. Told him I bobtailed home for my dr's appt since they have a no trailer at home policy. He said there was a loaded trailer at Camp Hill, PA to deliver at Aldi in Frederick, MD (BTW they are lumper unloads). We decided I would just disappear from Walmart so I was all over that.

    Had to leave the house at 2am so that put me into the nightshift all week. Did 2 runs to Pittsburgh. The second one was to a commissary that they were building. It was a job site that had a makeshift dock for the open hole in the wall. I took a pic of it and the mud hole I had to roll through, almost got stuck in it coming out empty, but it keeps failing to upload. Finally got back on schedule this morning. Now I have a Sabra load I have to get to King Sooper in Denver by 0400 Mon. JB, I always lock my door when I get out but will double check now...lol. Sitting at the J in Cannonsburg, KY for the night.

    Got my trainee Thurs afternoon. Set up for an Amazon load which ended up cancelling.

    Start all over Friday morning.... took advantage of Driver Appreciation day (thanks boss people), and now we are on our way to do a 4 stopper in Texas. So far so good.
