    My husband has been driving for 2 years. I have been driving for 1 year. We were on the wild card (which for our company is East of the Mississippi or just west of it but not much).
    Anyway we got onto a dedicated team run. TN to Just in MN to WI back to TN.
    It is a nice run. Before we started we heard bad stories about the run but they were BS.
    We do not get paid actual mileage, because we would have to run 65 for that. Our dispatcher had tried and got us
    paid for alternate route for a while, but alas that did not last.
    I do enjoy knowing where I am going and what I will be paid every week.
    What I do not like is the boredom.
    I am bored all ready.
    It is a sweet run, but how do I deal with the boredom?

    Bring our own food to save money and eat well. Not much time to sight see.

    I guess if people can text and drive I can knit and drive.

    Any good books out there? I do audible, but having a hard time finding something I like.
