    Well after catching up from the previous 116 messages I'm glad everyone did their best with the recent snow storms. I was in the safest of all places....stuck on the Richmond yard in between the 2nd and 3rd row of trailers. All weekend of the storm. Finally the following Monday Keith pushed me out with his tractor. Other than that, been running the north east gauntlet. 3 times in the last 3 weeks and that's where I'm headed again now. My miles are not where they should be. Maybe it's slow for everyone but definitely slow for me right now. They missed my hometime so I've rescheduled that. Maybe I'll get there eventually. I'm also overdue on a pm by about 3k miles. Next time in Richmond I'll get that. I'd rather go to memphis but they don't have a computer out there. And ole girl has check engine light on all the time. I check it though. Still under my hood, so idk. I'll let them look. Also my d.o.t. physical runs out this month so I'll get that soon. Everyone be safe, and I'll try to stay up to date now with our thread...well that or call MacDaddy again and talk for an hour+

    @5speed - I think they don't want the PMs done in W Memphis. Heard they weren't doing complete PMs. As for lower miles, mine too. Don't know, but sure it isn't EVERYONE. Look on the bright side-at least you're getting that .10 extra to help out!

    I've been stuck at the yard since yesterday. Truck decided to quit because of a bad sensor. Only took 24 hrs to get fixed. I feel blessed. Shane worked on it and got me going again. Chris said he had nothing I could do for early morning and to check with him in the a.m. Alrighty then. Off to bed because I'm soooo tired from sitting around all day shooting the ####.

    @RebelChick I didn't know that about Memphis. But it's fine, I figure while I'm getting my service in Richmond I could go do my physical so a win-win. And the miles, yea the dime more does help, but I feel I deserve them long mile runs since they messed up my hometime I put in 2 weeks in advance. Hopefully it will pickup for everyone soon. I hate your sitting there. Richmond is like glue...once you're in it, it's hard to get out.

    Uh... 1 hour 52 minutes... But who's counting... Besides, it made the trip out of the NE fly by.

    It does make the miles go by faster. Better for you it was "out" of the NE while I go in. Hopefully, I will not be there all day. Be safe brother
