    Yeah, i guess first time back in the saddle after 4 years was different ... eh? :rolleyes:

    Ask John how long it took me to "work up to it" .

    Problem with these loads is they screw the book. Leave now so my 10 is up by delivery time and not find any parking in south Philly tonight. Or, leave in the morning and loose hours in 95 traffic.

    To your other post, that's not how I define OTR. ;)

    3-4 months for me. Might be a bit longer as I intend to stay out until I hit a savings account target and low mile weeks aren't going to help.

    Doesn't matter what they call it, OTR, regional or whatever, it's all hauling stuff in a truck that I live in.

    Thanks bud. Yes I knew that. There's also the TA and FJ on 295 in NJ. Both are large and by now, pretty much full on a Sunday night.

    Thats ok. My DM is well aware of my position if they keep running me this way. He's not here on weekends but tomorrow should be an interesting conversation. Lol

    My regional experience has been 12,500 miles in October and 2,400 so far this month. And this is running automotive freight to and from Michigan. And I get to sleep in my own bed up to 3 nights a week.
