    I have another question regarding Trans Am. I have my Hazmat Endorsement but not a Tanker Endorsement, would it make much difference if I went and obtained it or not really?

    Lu, you can always obtain them later. Some companies may even pay you for the endorsements. Consider TransAm an apprenticeship of sorts. Learn then burn to another opportunity.

    Awww....I'm sorry. I know that getting home by the 23rd would have been great for your baby girl.
    There's nothing that can be done? This is a broker load?

    You are right, of course.... But this is a major freight lane and they wouldn't have any trouble getting someone else to take the load. I know you will be ok on the weather here......supposed to be in the low 60's, a chance for morning showers on Wednesday. What and when are you supposed to pick up ? And which way will you be coming from?
    Roma is slooooooow .....plan on extra time.

I messed up and booked this too early didn't wanna get stuck in Texas for Xmas I shoulda known better. Hell I woulda deadheaded home rather than miss Xmas again missed the last two cuz I got money whipped to stay in ND while every one else went home...10 grand to stay and work the holiday week.
