    feel like a ping pong ball?

    I don't have the navigo. I'm using a Garmin 720 and Copilot truck on my ipad along with the paper atlas of course.

    I'm headed to my delivery an hour and a half early. Nothing like pushing the limits! In the past, I would of have had a pre plan for home time by now. Hmmm... Hope all is well...

    Lemme bouncy this off you: I highlighted a week ago Monday for 4 days off. Turns out I miss counted and didn't have 4 days. I was told they would get me home on the 7th for 4 days. I usually have seen my pre plan for home by now but nothing this time. So, I'm on the dock waiting to unload and I give ops a call. I don't speak with my FM but one of the other team members. She tells me there is no pre plan/plan for me yet, wait till I give my empty call. This normal?

    It's 275, about what it was last time I went home. Not too many deliveries in the panhandle. I think the over 7 days thing was to get me to having 4 days off. My FM has been REALLY god about getting me home when/before I need to get there. I will ask about it though. Never leave money on the table!

    Not unusual. Usually I'd wait 30 minutes after empty call to be sent home, but every now and then they'd have me do a local delivery the next morning before going home. If it was during my FM's hours, I could call in and get a preplan home, but after hours I was always told to wait until empty call...
