    At one point I had a long stretch of short loads. I would get a 9-1100 mile load out of the house and then just about everything else would be 3-500 miles. Lasted so long and was so consistent that I didn't think it could be coincidence. The exception would be if I emptied out during night shift or on the weekend, then I might get something longer. I did that as much as I could, and eventually things seemed to even out.

    I know I wear mine so loose,it probably looks like I don't have it on.I have to pull it onto my shoulder when I go through scales.I hate being pinned to the seat like that.

    So,I give warning I need to make Dr.Appt.Just take this one in the opposite direction,cause it needs to move.OK,now I'm farther from home,but OK if they get me planned out.Here take this 700 mile load that goes in the opposite direction,then we can work on heading you home.No,No,and No!!

    I always tried to plan my vacation around specific dates I had to be home. Thankfully I don't go to doctors very often, or I wouldn't have had enough v-time.

    Look at all that extra money they want you to make before you get home.
