    She actually answered the phone??!!??!! I'm amazed. As for any of them getting on a truck with us, they're too scared to come out of a locked office, much less be in a confined space with one of us!!!!!!

    Andrew or Dru is about 20 yrs old I think. I havent heard or seen him much since last summer. I had about 17hrs left on my 70 and he tried to send me to Iowa. I wasnt going to pick up any hours several days either. Had to call Rusty on him on that one. But that was end of last summer.
    Personally, if I call in and he, Chris, or Walter answer I hang up or take achance and ask for Cam or Ryan!!! Sorry RChick I know your under Walter!

    YD enjoy the weather! FL is tougher to get a bh out of. Especially dry van. Every single time for me in a dry van has been a dhd up to GA. Even from Naples. There is hope! Reefer has a few more options though.

    I'm surprised George didn't respond to this: His parents live there! Hope you found a decent place to stop for your break.

    Made my delivery along with 9 other Abilene trucks and had just 4 hours left on my 70. Made it back up to Ocala will take of at 4 am and head to Homerville, Ga for my next load that I will drop on the yard in Richmond. At this very momeny only have 13 minutes on my 70 and only get 6 hours tonight the 8 plus from on. You can get over 3000 a week on recap. I git 3400 on recap last week.

    Well, color me surprised! I got mty in St. Cloud and was headed back up 192 toward the Home Depot on Poinciana because I just knew it was going to be a couple hours before I got my next load assignment when the qualcomm started telling me I had a new msg. Got a 490 mile deadhead to Buford GA to pick up and go 390 miles to Murray KY. Alrighty then! Got here with 30 minutes to spare on my clock. ATL traffic wasn't bad for it being 5 pm. I was surprised. Dropped my trl at Cardinal and headed to the Wal-Mart. Really need a laundromat, but that will just have to wait. I'm tired today. Matter of fact, I've been tired for about 3 days now. Don't know why. Anyway, I have a whopping 45 minutes left on my 70 and pick up 10.5, 6.5, 7, and 10. Going to be interesting until Sunday when I head home.

    Time to hit the sack. Night all. Be safe.
