    I haven't had much to share. I'm enjoying routine but by choice I haven't been home since forever. I need some play time.

    Def system has been giving me faults and fits. I spent last Saturday with truck in company shop and took off Sunday. Got new fault within 20 miles and a dire warning of degrade after 200 miles. Luckily it keeps righting itself but I've got to get it back into the shop. How glad am I that I am a company driver now? You better believe it.

    If you don't mind me asking, how long are you staying out for and how often do you reset?

    I've been out 28 days straight with no reset, so I've worked everyday. I'm tired. Think it's time to go home soon.

    The schedule I'm on I get a reset every week but on the opposite end of my home base. I have been out 60 days so far. My record I think is 12 or maybe 13 weeks. I was gibbering to myself by then. I want to repeat though that this is my choice. I'm trying to run as hard as I can while the weather is good and the loads are there. When things slow down in the winter I will probably go home every two or three weeks.

    Finally got egr def system repaired. 3 weeks of really short pay. Now I'm sitting in line waiting to deliver a 25 mile load before grabbing a regular from Laredo to Toledo.
