    Appreciate it "cuzzin it" good or bad i post it. Overall ACT has been a good experience for me . Its a fair handshake just do your job all they ask out of you.

    I been driving 23 yrs now and in that time frame i have learned that there alot of bs out here with different companies i personally havent seen it here . Everybody company lease or owner gets there piece of the pie its enough to pay the bills and support the family on a consistant bases .

    Alot of people say its not worth the risk . Your a company driver making truck payments etc. Well so is driving a parking downtown chicago or New York as far as that goes. Thats trucking. You have a major breakdown and cant make your truck payments , then walk away that minimizes the risk everybody is worried about really . What do you have to lose nothing ,its not like you have a bank note or something. So why not take a chance like i did you never know might work out .

    Im currently on my way to illinois this load wgts 43800 i reset my fuel mileage#
    Counter im at 8.2 so far . I look for that to drop running on amy recap got maybe 2 hrs to spare on my 70 and there alot of construction on 55 so im gonna haveto step it up and plan on some back ups. Thats truckg plan and be aware .

    Wasnt aware 40 was closed before the Gorge . Had to go up 81 to pick up 26. I have a 45 min window to work with on delivery time but the detour ate that up . So early arrival out of the question ,so now ill deliver Friday morning.

    This load i made 8.0 on mpg
    Preplan SC to KC 1058 mi 128 MT for Monday. I believe this is a paint load never pulled before so its prob heavy well see.

    Not sure heard it was a accident in the tunnel . They opened it up Thurs evening i went thru there thurs late afternoon. My gps re routed me on hwy 11 . Needless to say my gps doesnt have a job anymore . Those roads werent fit for a dump trk . You can hardly make the paperclip turns . Dogs barking at us why we were going thru. I wouldnt be surprised there still talking about that semi that went thru there Thur on the front porch . Its was awesome scenery tho.
