    Do you mind if I ask what you mean by "Highlight"? I'll be going to orientation starting Monday and I'm sure they'll explain, but just curious.
    Thanks

    In Davenport, Iowa at the Flying fish hook for the night. 3 hours and 59 minutes from the customer. Maybe less since that time is based on a 80,000 gross weight load. Next preplan: Picking up in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, and going to Laredo. Ready to get on my neck, and examine the back of my eyes. Be safe out there.

    In my orientation they explained that the term came from back in the day when dispatch had a paper list of drivers and would use a neon highlighter to mark drivers that needed to head home.

    If you have to do a restart in Henderson. There's a Truckstop in Henderson right off of US Hwy 41 right before you cross the bridge into Evansville, Indiana. It's on the left hand side if you're going North.
