    Sounds like me D1-2c. Came off my first hometime, got a load and truck breaks down 2 days later. Was In the shop for 4 days, 4 days I sat in a hotel. Then it wasn't fully fixed so had to go through tulsa to get the rest and spent about a day and a half there.

    Flatbedn on to better! I just hope I don't have to face the same as you I can still say I'm being treated alright and like my dm. Good luck though, being home every weekend is something I wouldn't mind.

    Triletter I probably saw you today. I' was heading towards Effingham, I'm in Indiana now deliver tomorrow morning about 60 miles from Indianapolis.

    I usually wave to anyone I pass by. Most of them wave back. I had nothing but a big pole base on me. Headed to a wind farm.

    I haven't picked up and delivered a load in the same day for a long time. Now I remember how much fun it is! At the J outside Omaha now. Maybe the DM will let me sleep in.

    Do you guys get 34's often? I can't remember the last 34 I got other than home time. Seems like I work all day every day.

    Spent the night at the Flying J in Texarkana and delivering midmorning. Figure I will pick up down in Houston, but you never know.

    Mrh2008, 34's are really hit and miss in my experience. I have gone weeks without one and then get two of them in a row. Just depends on the load distance and the weekend. I have screwed up twice and been forced to take a 34, but it isn't the norm.

    I usually get my 34s on a weekend run. If I get a load that is right around a 1000 miles I can normally squeeze one in. I try to get as close to the con as I can by Saturday evening then deliver Monday am. Doesn't always work out for me but more often than not it does. Still Melton seems to hate the idea of a 34. Unless you are almost completely out of hours.

    At Dwight, IL loves. Seems I just got here in time and found one spot left.

    Delivered this morning and picked up 2 coils in Gary, IN. US Steel. Spent a whole week and a half there when I was training taking coils up to Wisconsin then going back and getting them again. So I was familiar. Had a feeling I'd go there today.

    I usually don't get 34s. However since coming off hometime I've been getting them almost every weekend. Get a new load Fridays, drive all day and Saturday and by the time Monday comes I'm good to go. Just got one this past weekend when I went to OKC. At least I was close enough to enjoy myself. Walked to the movie theatre and just walked around the area.
