    Hey everyone... On duty For 13hr. 30mins.... Let's see divide that by $50 a day and It should be about $3.75 per hr, NICE... looked at my trainer and told him don't try this bleep tomorrow... Lol... I Told him I'm trynna be back to the yard by Friday because I need to make some money. He said he wants to keep me till ssunday says he wants the miles. I told him cool but if we over 5000 miles to by me a cb and a headset. He laughed and said ok but he would send me the invoice for his brakes... Lol I guess I apply to much brake pressure...

    Well started my day at the TA in mt. Vernon, went to Moberly Mo. To drop at a Wal-Mart distribution. In and out in about 1hr.. From there went to Perry Iowa to pick up a load from Tyson that's headed to north Richland hills texas. On i35 headed to the Olathe yard to shower.

    In Kutztown PA after dropping my trailer in a Kenworth yard tow facility in Ridgefield Park, PA. Waited over three hours for the gate guy with the key. Must have been busy, ya think? Hauled arse back out of there and got to PA as the travel ban in Joizee was in effect. Now in Kutztown PA at a mom and pop stop parked behind another bobtail. Last spot in the joint. Rather be lucky than good. Tough finding parking at midnight. Geez. Twice across the state to escape the storm. I shouldn't be such a yes man! Bobtailing on to Glatfelters in Spring Grove PA for a 1 pm headed to Tension Envelopes in KC. Uy vey, I hear the Treq calling me. Deuces.

    It's been awhile since I have been as physically and mentally drainednas I was last night. Did make it thru all the states that had bans going up. Sitting in Denver, PA right now, waiting on a door.

    travis i hope when your talking hours they weren't all on duty or driving
    if they were you need to get your trainer to show you when to log off duty
    to conserve hours
    time management to always have hours to drive is the key to success
    it takes a while to figure that all out
