    Well i really feel the doctor appointments here an there have been holding us back some. Where we live doesn't seem to do us any favors for when we go home for hometime either. That team i spoke to lives in checotah ok. That's a great location for hometime cuz they don't ever need to run outta route to go home. Plus they could even take a phoenix load home with them an just jump on 40 right there coming off home time an sail west. That load would be a little out of route but not much.

    That's true......i almost always have to go out of route to go home too. Maybe twice I've been able to stay in route. Is it Peoria where yall live? I can't remember...

    Yea which isn't bad for solo work. But they tend to prefer us as a team to be directly headed back toward the st louis area when coming off home time. So a lot of times we just bounce home outta route empty an then go on to st louis from home. If we have a reefer then sometimes we'll run over to Robinson an grab one to palmyra but usually we have a reefer cuz we unloaded in Danville. So then you're running from Danville to peoria then back to Robinson where it would a been a lot shorter just to go Danville to Robinson.

    We are considering a move to Dallas Tx. Got a line on a place there. An we want to move out of Illinois. So if we're gonna move it'll be close to dallas so we'll at least be close to the kids there. Looking into a mobile home there. Once there we can find a piece of land in the country to put it on.

    That'd be really cool, brother! You would win all the way around with a move to Dallas.

    You fellas are pushing out some serious freight in Wright City. Saw at least 15 Climate rolled on in drop and hook and a few sad guys in the dock doors. They must be on the naughty list.

    I went there this past Monday as a matter of fact. It'll be about an hour unload, I slept on Black Satchel Rd, then crept in there. The entrance is on Chesapeake Dr. If you ride Chesapeake to Auten Rd, turn left, then after about a ¼ mile turn left on Black Satchel. You'll be able to sleep there and nobody will bother you. Itll be a few trucks parked there asleep. Auten Rd will have a "No Trucks" sign, but don't worry about it. It ain't like you'll be camping out there. My messed arrow is where I parked, so when you wake up in the morning, you'll be facing Chesapeake Dr. You can hang that right to get back to the entrance 20210819_132731.jpg
