    I made it back to Richmond. Should be headed home tomorrow. Hope all is well with everyone else. I guess we need better company morale. I had 4 fellow drivers not wave today. Lol. Sorry you had to sit like that Johnboy. Especially when you do have hours to run. I haven't been to the new memphis yard yet.
     
    JohnBoy Thanks this.

    You take 4.5 days off every two week pay period?
    I must be missing something.

    Oops, was that you? Sorry, I will wave next time... ;-)

    The new place in West Memphis has some great potential. Plenty of space both inside and out. Looking forward to seeing it get fully developed over the next, well, however long it takes to develop.
     
    5speed Thanks this.

    Awesome... I hope it's a good match for you. Rather new here myself and this company has a lot going for it. Keep us posted and feel free to ask us anything you want. While I might not be of much help yet, there are several here with many years that will be sure to have the answers for you.

    Good Luck,
    MD

    What are you missing? I usually get home Thursday, and leave out on Tuesday. Time off for me is measured by the nights I sleep in that California king size bed with the woman I married 19 years ago. It does change a little this time of year with the holidays approaching. Time to go to work, reset is up.
     
    5speed Thanks this.

    So, 9.5 on and 4.5 off... Sweet deal... If I could be assured of a similar schedule I would consider leaving Regional and go back to the OTR side... Well, assuming I actually get to New Hampshire this weekend and then get assigned a truck...

    They had us run to Atlanta last night and now deadheading home to get the load heading back north... Seems like a rather odd dispatch to me but maybe it makes sense to others here.

    Maybe I am getting the cart before the horse... Again... lol
