    No I just want the repairs paid for. I needed to take a couple of days. I've been burnt out since the first week of November. The money keeps me going though.

    I'm thinking about training so I can double up. I've got to order a truck first though.

    You know you're eligible for "dealer downtime" pay after the first full 24-hour period you're down for maintenance? You need to talk to your RA person about that.

    Do you guys on the tanker side have any dedicated lanes/customers? Or is it pretty much all OTR anywhere and everywhere.

    Enjoying the writeups. Thanks!

    Not dedicated but we go the same places a lot. You go strange places when you get out of lane for whatever reason. Home time, repairs and what not.

    Ahh nice. That's one of the things i really enjoy about the dedicated GM/Yoplait lane I'm in now on the reefer side. I love the consistancy, getting to know the same people, ect that it offers. I ultimately would like to go to the tanker side, but being relatively new to trucking figured it was best to start out "safe" going reefer on the company side for a year or so before making that jump.
