    Penguin Press it is. For the most part I am usually home for the weekend. If I don't go west then I'm home every 5 days. We do get paid for deadhead miles. And we do get paid practical miles.

    We bring either Playground equipement down or our diapers to the same customer in Fort Lauderdale. The Miami stop I had was from the same shipper we have in Mountain Top going to Dade Paper. We also have NY Times LTL that ends up in Deerfield Beach at the Sun-Sentinel.

    You see, I'm not the only one! How's this, left the house my last round with a fresh 70, 1350 mile trip to Queens, reload in PA for a 2800 mile trip to LA. 4150 miles in a week with 1 hour left on my clock. Reset then a 3050 trip back to PA and a 1500 mile trip to Atlanta and Miami. That required an extra day to be able to pick up some needed hours. All on elogs like you said.

    Exactly. Some drivers can't leave a terminal without having issues.
