    I live in San Diego. Being west coast you have to stay out 3 weeks minimum. I get home on time most of the time. It has gotten better over the last few months. Probably bc we are picking up more contracts out west

    Getting home isn't great. I live just east of Phoenix. They say 3 weeks out, but i prefer to run 7 or so and take a week off. Getting home on time is a 50/50 chance. I'm 2 days early this time, but I've been a week late multiple times and have missed important family events.

    Parked next to a Melton last night in Kilgore. Poor guy was 7 miles from his first stop and they closed at 3pm. So from 4pm fri he sits till Monday morning. That sucks. What do you get paid for that?

    No worries. Being in northern CA. I am not sure howoften they would get you home on the exact day you would request. As far as loads out bound I would imagen you would pick up out of Oakland mostly. At CASS (recycling. Stuff) I have modes out of Stockton once also.

    Wilson, you are just up the road from home. By any chance are you the same Wilson from another forum with half your face covered?
