    Patience, grasshopper. Monday. But I will say I've been turned down by three carriers since yesterday and have a voicemail from another to call; we seem to be playing phone tag.

    Well, I'm rooting for you (I was gonna say pulling, but that would be weird) and hoping for the best.

    DD, you convinced me to call Britton. Mulling it over now. Sounds like a good Co to get on with.

    Anxiously awaiting your news on Monday.

    Been awhile since I posted on here. Didn't want to say a lot till I got out and ran a little with Gordon. They are not really a bad place to work. I always have preplans on me and the miles are ok, depending on how hard you like to run. Had a couple of long runs but the last couple of weeks have been 500 to 600 mile trips. Not real happy about that. They do a ton of drop and hook, and you would think that would be a good thing. Seems like after you drop about 60% of the time you have to wait 30 or 45 min so they can find you an empty trailer somewhere because where you dropped don't have any. The trucks are pretty nice and they are getting some Cascadia Evo in now but I think they are autos, but have a fridge and microwave in them. All and all its ok here, nothing to brag about really but I will stay awhile and see what happens I guess

    The new equipment validates what HOAT said in another forum.

    APU, inverter, fridge, and microwave? Wow. Wonder how many of those trucks are available.
