    This will be my last trip out with Melton. Going to give Jordan Carriers a try weekends home.

    Well.... This load requires neither tanker nor hazmat endorsements... no idea why my load info says tarp/tanker/hazmat. It's supersacks of powdered limestone.

    Sleeping on the side of the road tonight. I have 5 hours tomorrow and I'm supposed to make 1000 miles by Wednesday morning. Told the secretary and she said we can repower. Wonder how that's going to go...

    Haha secretary. I'm hoping after I drop this load it's either a place by my house or a re power cause if I don't get home for kids birthday I'll be quite upset. Already dropped money on a party place and a surprise trip to all the cool stuff in Atlanta for the 2 days.

    I see your point cause I'm upset right now. Home time set to start tomorrow but my load is a four stop that takes me to my home state but not my town. My current lease is up and I'm losing my stuff for a load.

    all you guys goin home this week huh? im supposed to start hometime thursday. just delivered at cons today 220ish miles from home. only have 3 hours on my clock left today looks like im sitting til tomorrow. though they should just send me home but i would bet they will want me to pick up another load and do a repower

    i would say something if i dont get home on time...never had a problem yet but i actually have plans

    the least they can do after being out 6-8 weeks is get you home

    The only complaint I have about Melton is home time. They almost never get me home on time. I'm always late.

    Last year, I missed my son's 1st birthday, he turns 2 in 2 weeks. I better get home for this one or I'm going to raise hell.

    I've been on time but I'm in Florida which isn't far just don't know what comes out of here to get me there.

    On another note if u ever deliver to this rf supply south of Tampa bobtail to the Italian place it's 3 minutes and one road away, my god this is good and beats truck stop food. Got 4 stuffed shells 6 wings a salad and drink for 14 bucks.
