    I'll do that on Monday. I even sent a follow up email, once I saw the position reposted. The recruiter replied stating again that they weren't hiring out of Brandon. If it is a matter of work history, id prefer he just say that instead.

    decent couple of weeks.

    3144 2 weeks back and 3108 last week. kind of a carbon copy both weeks starting out running down to tampa.

    been having some ongoing issues with pepsi on both ends coming out of there. hope it's just a glitch that's gets itself worked out lol last week was kind of annoying dealing with them.

    Tuesday picked up okay in tampa but got up to Columbia and no empties even though there were 5 trailers sitting on the yard. they were all loaded. ended up spending the night in Columbia waiting for an empty even though I had plenty of time to make it back to advance. that pretty much threw the rest of the week off and had me playing catchup the rest of the week.

    Friday got in to tampa early and the load was ready but they loaded the wrong stuff on the trailer. had to go back to the dock for a rework. ugh lol at least I didn't get the other 48 that was sitting there ready. it was jacked up a visible 6-8" above the 5th wheel. whoever got that one had a fun morning cranking it back down low enough.

    things are going good otherwise. never really saw much of a slowdown through the summer miles have been pretty consistent. even my last leesport week 3 weeks back was 2944 and kept moving with very little waiting.

    planned on a 2 stop pickup Randleman and Claremont to Baraboo to start the week.

    Be careful on the pepsi loads, last one that was taken up just before you del yours had ants in the trailer, we have warned Ashley about the ant problem here in tampa- butt they are not doing much about it, wait until they buy a load of pepsi---LOL

    Been doing about the same 3000ish almost every week, fine with that and about 40 46 hrs off

    planning has been pretty good lately I've been getting roughly the same home time as well and still getting good miles. haven't been in for just 34 in a good couple of weeks now. if not for the pepsi problems this week I'd have had 3 weeks straight out Monday in Friday.

    yeah when that finally goes down that's gonna be a nightmare. hopefully I won't be down there for that one lol

    since im arcadia bound this week and been down there the last 2 weeks straight I'm due a leesport week so hopefully i'll miss out on that fun lol

    LOL I did up state New York a couple of weeks ago not bad--everything went good, first time up there.
    Coming out of FL, they can not lv us up there to long, before turning around, will have to say, I have to adjust my driving time to be starting early in the day, cause the parking is filled by 5pm dam---LOL

    That's when I started using the app truckers path---works well

    I've been using an app MyDAT Trucker. I've downloaded Truckers Path, give it a try and see how I like it.
