    All is well tramm , day 3 of my 4 days off with the local beer store teetering on the edge of running out of stock .
    The x330 is at 72hrs and a couple weeks ago I bought a 2017 ram 1500.

    Still just running jack links plants in iowa , south dakota , Minnesota, Wisconsin and a DC in Chicago.
    Hadn't planned on this but from what I hear my departure from Morehouse and FCC was a good thing ...my 2nd quarter fuel bonus at stans was 1150.00...just for shutting off the truck .

    I have got more than that every quarter at FCC without really doing anything other than delivering on time and not running into stuff.

    Glad things are going good for you at Jack's. I think you made the right move as well leaving when you did based off what others have written on this forum outside the main threads. Glad you found a good company who treats you with respect, you deserve it after everything you've been through ever the years.

    I appreciate it !....my year anniversary is coming up quik and things are good and consistent....my quarterly fuel bonuses have ranged right around 1200 bucks a quarter.
    At years end ill get the last installment of my hiring bonus, my annual bonus that pays out on all miles ran for 2025 and my 4th qaurter fuel bonus for 2025 ...should throw about 8k in the bank from that and take a 14 day vacation.
    I've tried out the health insurance and its very good also .
    Will end the year with 2 weeks vacation banked.
    Still home every 6 to 7 days with 4 days off and always run at least 2800 miles sometime pushing 3500 never more than 7.5 hours from home ... 99 % drop and hook plant to plant .

    At just shy of a year in now I want give a hearty thanks to Morehouse for giving me the nudge I needed to move on ...and of course to whomever at FCC that helped get me fired there ...cheers ! And thank you !
    Not much else new other than bought a new to me pick up a few weeks ago and really like it .

    Didn’t realize you got fired at a FCC but don’t think you’re missing much buy reading there threads. Glad this gig is working out for you.

    Thanks ...I shut up about it and know who precipitated it.
    It was one of those quit or be fired deals .
