Finally made it home after 8 weeks out. We always (4 of 6) make it home late. If we delivered late that often I am sure we would not have a job....
Woke up to a new FM this morning. Not sure what happened to the last one. We averaged 6,000 miles for the last 8 weeks. I hope this keeps up.
I retired from IKE in 2011.
We will take a pay cut next year by not getting the sign on bonus or tuition repayments. I hope more miles will make up for that.

We are on I-10 in X. Heading to Portland. We are always out of hours. A good thing. 7300 miles last week. We do put on chains as we hate to sit...
We are new and ran I-80 last winter. Chained up once to keep rolling. No big deal. The road crews take great pains to keep the roads open as much...

Same problem more miles than available hours. Will try to do a rolling reset on this load.
Out of hrs as well/ 7,000 miles last week for us. We have been kept extremely busy. We have been out for 4 weeks and have 4 weeks to go until...
