    I'm on a rolling reset, I'm down to 23 hours on my 70. My reset will be up at 9am in the morning. This load has allowed us to get this reset in without loosing miles. Poor Chris, nothing but the overnight shift since we left. We will be rolling out of here at Caldwell Idaho at 7pm tonight with 650 miles to go.

    I say nice. Now. If they can get me another until home time, then it will be sweet. But, if they go as recently normal, then they will nickel and dime me to the poor house.

    I don't mean to biotch, but I'm really starting to wonder if I'm going to fit in here. Yes, it's still early in my tenure. I have to stay the course. No matter how painful it gets.

    We aren't making enough miles for a date night. Plus, with the wife's condition, just "going out" is a chore. Her condition, Miniere's Disease is unpredictable at best. But, it negatively affects her when bad weather hits. These rogue systems have played hell on her. Just the way it is.

    Anyway delivered my load from Mountain Top to Wythville,and was sent a load from the yard to Ft Campell Ky military base,this load had no time on it,drove straight 7 there.Get there at 300 and they tell me wont be able to unload until midnight,ok so call dispatch askem if they have anything I can roll towards at about 0200,and the load planner answers the phone bingo!!!!.

    Give me a 1400 mile trip picking up in Mo,and dropping at the yard in Richmond whenever I get there.

    Have hometime setup for Wednesday will be in Richmond tomorrow night,just looking for an out and back.
