    Joe .. Modesto is the only place W/S has close to you. Now if your just passing through Sac on I-5 or 80 and have extra time you could park at the 49er truck stop. But not sure about taking the truck home while on hometime.

    Danc... yea the miles have picked up alot sence the 1st of July , lot's East runs. I keep looking for your truck, mine is #1947

    I can't speak for Sal....But I've been doing my best to help everyone out.

    I can't understand why I can't just work every other week. Afterall, it is deer season here :D

    We had entire factories that would close on opening day here. If it falls in the middle of the week. Which it hasn't in a long time. Unless you bowhunt ;)

    Java Joe are you in school or are you currently driving for someone else? I am scheduled to be in Missoula on the 3rd also, from Modesto.

    Hey Sal,

    What do you do for your hometime? do you park the truck in Modesto or tend to be coming through Sac anyway and just park it at the truck stop?

    As far as I have been told, I think W&S provides the prepass top their drivers for the truck scales, but what about the passes for the toll roads out there? We had a Werner recruiter come into our class this week and he was talking about them, got me curious about it.

    Thanks in advance.

    You won't have an EZ-Pass (tolls) unless you run the eastern corridor enough to need it. $200 a month in tolls, isn't enough :(

    I just grab the advance when I see I'm going that way. If not, you'll have to find an ATM.
