    Thanks for the info Azcannon. Plan to ask for home time right at Christmas then use my days to go out as close to after the New Year as possible. Seems like I'm getting used to ways of flat bedding. Still not too many dull moments.

    Enjoy the rest of your time home.

    I went thru Austin at 60mph today... Why can't every day be the day after Thanksgiving?

    I agree ESP with Austin. I always get stuck doing 35 or slower. I am in little rock waiting to deliver Monday.

    Aren't you lucky! Seems like every time I go south thru Austin, there's a wreck where upper and lower 35 come back together. I usually get stuck at 10mph or less.

    I have used the toll bypass a couple times. Worth the few bucks during rush hour.

    I used to hate texas , now I time the cities where I wont hit them during rush hour or I don't drive through them. I just park and relax wake up early or drive at night but driving through texas and hitting a rush hour in ANY of the cities is not an option , only exception is north out of dallas leaving texas.

    I heard that bypass is going up to like $24 for trucks on the first of December. It was $6ish for a while wasn't it?

    I still hate Texas. Just somethin about this interstate system out here that isn't right. Couldn't build it like every other state!!!!!!

    And... California's "turn left to go right" is just as stupid!

    everyone should copy the way AZ does things.

    I just got a call from melton to pick up a load that delivers down in wellton( Yuma ). a repowered repower kind of a deal so they can move a load to florida 1 day sooner. Instead of it leaving on monday with me it will leave on Sunday morning. End of the world I guess. Instead of being empty at home on monday I will be Empty in yuma with 150 miles for the week lol.
