    Thems the best kind of miles. No stupid trailer holding you back and getting in the way. Can zip in and out of parking lots and do your shopping. :)

    Forgot about that, free chilled bottled water too.

    If we can get them to put in a shower I may never go back to Richmond.

    No on your right. 16 Freightliner. We have actually sat in the lounge chatting when I first started. I didn't figure it out it was you at the time so don't think Im being creepy or anything

    Did you have to speak to them?. I just did a ch robinson earlier this week and didn't hear a peep from them. I avoid contact with brokers at all costs.

    Good news about the extra office staff. I wonder if one of them will be an HP trailer coordinator that can keep track of the loaded ones?. :)

    I'm trying!. The load I am on now will finish out the cut off. I will drop it in chester in the morning but won't have hours left for the day to do anything.

    I don't keep a running tally of my load miles but I had a pm done last week Thursday night so its easy to reckon up mileage.

    Going by that little sticker in the windshield I have driven 3207 miles since last friday. I did a little off duty to get groceries ( and some running around looking for HP trailers :( ) but that is still not bad considering I got a 34 hour reset in on sat/sun.

    Not at all. I have a hard time with names. Faces I remember. Next time just walk up to me and introduce yourself. I may not feel like talking or I may talk your ear off! Either way, I will know you then!
     
    Redtwin Thanks this.
