    I was supposed to have Monday-Wednesday off, but when I got to the yard yesterday afternoon, I was told there were quite a few drivers ahead of me in line for a load. Got asked if I was okay heading home early. Of course, we all want more miles, regardless of how many we have, but I said no big deal. Just have a big dentist appointment Monday and may not feel like coming back Tuesday. Was told not a problem if that's the case. Went on the hunt for an mty and booked it home. Now, I came up out of NC with a nice mty that I could've just headed right home with, but hey, just my .02 cents! :biggrin_25520:

    Now to get started on my "daughter do list" that my mother has for me, along with all my stuff. Y'all be careful out there.

    Is the seasonal slowdown starting?. Miles seem to have slumped the past couple weeks. RC mentioned drivers waiting for loads at the yard and I have been in PA since Thursday afternoon (did a whopping 30 miles yesterday) with no idea when I will get moving again.

    Johnboy not feeling any love. In fact, Johnboy is pretty pissed. I'm sitting in one of the most disgusting places in the trucking profession, West Memphis, home time was too start yesterday, and I'm here enjoying the sights and sounds of this hole. Now, in order to be home for thanksgiving, I get to stay out another 2 weeks in an industry that just doesn't give a rats arse about the driver. Right now, I just reserved a rental car in Richmond to make sure I'm home for the holiday, and if it comes down to that, I'll be taking a week off. That's all folks, be safe, now back to the sights and sounds of this poop hole.

    Yikes, if you are not a happy camper what hope do the rest of us have?.o_O

    Look on the bright side though, the cooler temps make that Jiffy John at the yard borderline useable.:pottytrain4::sad3:

    They didn't. Don said he would have to email Sabra and have them send him a copy, which he would fax to me at a truckstop somewhere.
