    The beauty of dryvan. Six drops in half a day. Again, were talking Denver. My 4 dropper meat load to LA a few weeks ago 3 am to 9pm. Did a split sleeper at the last stop to keep legal. Next company is definitely gonna be dry van. Deuces Abileenees.

    Last Friday I had 4 drops between Gaithersburg Maryland and Petersburgh Va with a reefer load, started at 1am and was done at 7am. No fun. Good to hear from you my friend. Be safe.

    You get what you pay for. I asked for a 2 cent raise per mile, they told me no. This is probably my replacement at 35 cents per mile.

    Had just my second repower due to HOS since I started here 2 years ago. Been to Conley Ga, reloaded in Chester SC Saturday morning headed to the yard. Grabbed a load Sunday morning headed to Groveport Oh that made it as far as the Beckley Service Plaza, swapped there then went to bed. Got a reload in Wytheville headed to Columbus Oh, dropped that last night then bounced the 4 miles to Groveport and got a load going to Jacksonville Fl for 4am. Right now getting ready to leave Nitro WVA.

    I have hometime for Friday, I put in a request to have me turn a driver coming south tomorrow that I can meet in SC to swap and deliver Thursday in south Florida. I was home for 6 days last time and only need 3 days off this go around. My wife and I are flying to Boston for her cousins wedding the end of May, her from the house me from Richmond, so I need to make sure I'm able to get hometime at Richmond.

    Got empty yesterday in Jacksonville at 4am. Slept there until my 10 was up at 7am. Had a preplan from the day before to reload in Savannah and head north. That was changed about 7:30. I had to wait in Jacksonville and switch with another driver. Took his load down to Naples, got empty at 6am then headed to the house. Got home a day earlier, will head back out Tuesday.
