    Enjoy your home time. I am making up for the last 2 3 day weekends.

    Doing a 4 day Kansas City. Loads Sunday morning out there. Not looking forward to the holiday traffic.
     
    Mortarmaggot Thanks this.

    Dispatch is ahead of the game. Got my options and took a, " maybe," dedicated to Miami next week. The maybe is because if there is a load nearby Miami which they can put me on, I haul something back. If no nearby load headed home, I run back empty.

    A nice little 1500 round trip followed by a weekend home.

    I went out over Easter and ended up sitting in Charleston. No more holidays out for me.

    Don't blame you. All my stuff is out and back though so I know I will be moving.

    Spent the night at the 77 on 95S in SC. Having my coffee before rolling out to the truck parking wastelands of Southern Florida. I'll start the search 200 miles out from my destination.

    Decided to stay 130 miles out. Didn't want to become a shark circling around for a parking spot. The J at the 131 on 95 S in FL.

    If it goes as planned, I'll make it to GA tomorrow after unloading and back to Wilmington mid day on Friday.

    Made GA and will be rolling out in 45 minutes. ETA to Wilmington is 1230. Looks like I'll be home before the sun goes down.
     
    PostmanMJC, Roady87 and Smut Thank this.

    Mortarmaggot and Wsyrob just wanted to thank both of you guys for posting your superior journeys hopefully gonna be starting with the south jersey terminal if everything works out in October been talking with the terminal manager. Being able to read along with your experiences greatly helped me pursue them.
