    I actually squeezed out a reset on my first load after Hometime.

    Been here since Oct.
    Not really keeping track of miles.

    My Rand McNally GPS tells me I have driven 72,500 miles since 2/5.

    That's what I was hoping to hear, some people may say the pay is on the low side but with out them paying per diem it makes up for it in my opinion.

    Have some family time I've been planning all year the end of September. Think I'll give them a call as soon as I get back. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions everyone.

    I like being able to take the pre diem off at the end of the year. The pay is on the low side, no doubt, but there is plenty of miles to be had. The equipment is well maintained so as for me I can't ask for much more. I have been here 5 years and hope to be here till I leave trucking in 10 or 15 years. Lol.

    The per mile rate is low, BUT the bonuses ARE achievable...after 8 years of trucking I had only achieved 1 tiny bonus ever. This time after my first complete quarter I made 2 out of the 3.

    On the third drop of this nightmare three.....1130pm last night, 10am this morning and 7.30pm this evening...and as is pretty usual, arrived here at 6.30pm my door not available, on the door at close to 8pm been on the door now for 1.5 hrs and not even a red light yet.....pick up tomorrow at 11am so yet another wonderful split break stop at the former Willie's Place in Carl's Corner TX (and have to use the dreaded Reserve a space (otherwise forget trying to park anywhere in the area at midnight or later). And HOPEFULLY be able get my pickup on time or no more than an hour late (or you have to call dispatch 4 hours before appointment time (which means yet another interrupted sleep time)....and off for yet another 3 stopper. What is it with all these freaking multi stoppers lately?????? Anyone else here on the Holland thread been getting way too many of them???? Driving me crazy!!!
