    Well they told me my AC condenser was shot. And the shop nor Volvo here in Memphis have none. So they are ordering one for the truck. But it wont get here until Monday after noonish. So I talked with my DM I said I only have 3 hours on Saturday to run if she could get me a load Sunday. That way i can get a 34hr reset in. I received pre -plan at 1630 on the 26th. P/U 28th deliver 29th in Crossett, AR to Keller, TX Paid loaded miles 341 actual 345 paid empty miles 216 actual 220. Then she will get me a load from Dallas area back to Memphis so my AC will get fixed. Well that's the plan will see if it works out that way.

    Will update on the 29th

    What is there home time like running like that? I`m looking into them now..talked to a recruiter today and got my app sent in. As long as everything goes ok I should be off to orientation middle of April. Left my last company cause they couldn`t find the right mix of miles and home time. Seemed like it was either 1200 miles and home on the weekends or 2200 miles/wk but out for 6 weeks straight.
