    Heading to Findlay, OH... I don’t think I’ve ever actually been there before... does BB allow you to take a 10 onsite before your LUL?

    Yes. There have been quite a few in there over the last 7 years. They just never seem to last. Even the ones who have come from other trucking companies with dispatch experience. There is a theory that floats around, but I will not repeat it. Self preservation, ya know. ;)

    Do you all think Schneider is a good company to start with? I start next week. Nervous as heck.

    Left the house a week ago Thursday. In 7 days the farthest west I’ve been has been La Vergne Tn. Did get 4050 miles in though. Now I’m off to Alliance Ne, Denver Co and SLC Ut. Home time next Tuesday, Barbados next Wednesday.

    Dropped my hottub load Thursday in WM to get a couple things fixed on my truck then take a reset but nope....picked up then dropped a fedex load off in wytheville friday because apparently I was the only one available. Got a reset and they sent me a 409 mile to pa that is supposed to deliver 8 pm tonight....was supposed to send me back out west not north.....dumb planning right there. Said Id be ready at 3am. I sent a message over qualcomm yesterday but no answer. Said Id be ready at 3am so I grabbed the load at 3am. Guard at Walmart told me to call when the manager gets in at noon and he might let me in early at 1300. Otherwise 14 is up at 1645....

    Sitting in San Antonio,have a hill phoenix going to a family dollar 12 miles up the road in the morning.

    Apparently this new family dollar account for hp is a big deal,they make you sign a form,and give you a wakeup call the day of.
