    Yes some of the trucks are still on paper logs but all will be updated soon. I am local now and run from Port Manatee to Deerfield Beach everyday and on salary. Very good gig.. OTR home time is real good depending on where you live,General policy is not trucks at the house.most park at a terminal..Fuel is routed for you but if you want to go past a certain way they can most times adjust your fuel solution to accomadate your needs.They do give alot of time to run the loads but to me it was great not having to be in a rush all the time,

    Took my break at Love's in Ontario, Oregon. Fixing to head out and run for the J at Rawlins, Wyoming. Fuel routing has me hitting Evanston, Wyoming .. Aurora, Colorado. .and Sweetwater, Texas. Seems quite a bit longer than running the west sid
    e of the Rockies. Was hoping to run 191 thru the National Parks. I have heard that is a beautiful ride.

    Sitting at my Consignee in San Antonio. Arrived 34 hrs and 22 minutes ahead of appt. R E S E T. What little cushion I had I lost from Fort Collins thru Denver on a Friday afternoon/evening. I 70 was 1 lane eastbound trying to get out. Man I wish I could have run 191 thru the parks. I will have to inquire as to whether there's much flexibility on these fuel solutions.
