    Home time continues.

    WITH COFFEE!!!!!:cat:

    The neighbors orange cat is hanging out here. Not sure which neighbor. He's not real friendly. I think he was adopted, and someone doesn't spend much time with him.

    How much longer before you are back on the road or have you become an armchair dispatcher?

    Oh heck no. He'll be back with Casper the 8th. Like I said I'm not real keen on sitting here this long, but getting through the Landstar machine is a chore. No point in anyone being punished, except me I guess, because they have their way they do things. I'll do the next one a little different to try and streamline the process.

    Once you're through the chew toy line, it's great. Don't ask me why they do things the way they do, I've not the slightest clue.

    I could take his truck, but that's not how I roll. I've 0 interest in taking just anyone that comes along, none, nada, nichts.

    Is it true that you only hire drivers that have rolled a truck?

    If your the owner operator, home time is what you make it. If your a company driver, home time is what they allow.

    When I was with Western Express I learned the hard way. Dont get in the cab to check messages during hometime. Some one will have sent a message trying you to break up your downtime. Granted this was before elogging.
