    That's what I get for typing tired. *sighs* Should have been shifting, instead of shipping. No wonder that I can't get any miles. Lol

    Panhandle,
    You are on the right track. When you can have a minute to talk to the boss on a one to one ask him why he doesn't give a fuel or idling bonus to the top 5 or 10 % of drivers that earn it.. Have him set a minimum average. . Let's say 6 mpg and will give a bonus based on how far over the target mpg a driver goes. Get 7 mpg should be worth $250 a month. over that goal, $275 or higher but one that is making him money with high mpg and one the drivers want to earn. Too small not worth the effort. Too high it is unattainable.It all depends on how it is presented to them.

    Another thing that you can do is to see if there is another phone number for them. Many times you will find a different number than what TransAm gives you .....maybe they do that on purpose since they don't want you calling receivers :biggrin_255:. If you're lucky you can find the extension for the guard shack and get the information that you need.

    A section of the Midwest stretching from Texas to South Dakota is at risk for large hail, strong wind gusts and tornadoes Saturday afternoon and evening.


    The Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., says isolated to scattered severe storms are expected to develop across the central and southern Plains Saturday afternoon and continue into the overnight hours.
    The main threat will be large hail and damaging wind gusts. The strongest area for storm potential is along a dryline in northern Texas and southwestern Oklahoma
    On Sunday, an outbreak of severe storms is possible across parts of the central U.S., including the Ozarks. Large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes are possible.
    The greatest risk for tornadoes on Sunday will be in Arkansas as well as parts of Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
