    Whoa...too much time at home...starting to talk funny...don't know where I learned to talk like a teenie bop valley girl. Got a teenage son, but boys just don't talk...

    weather too crappy to fish in kayaks...might have to watch football, eat wings, drink adult beverages in preparation for the blood test for the health screening (lmao) they will have to tilt to container when they draw blood from me so it doesn't get a head on it!!!

    But they don't have copper at Henderson they have moly for the holy moly donut shop!?!

    Was debating if I wanted to hit the road now or turn on the TV. Ended up standing up eating a leftover hush puppy turned around and went back to bed.

    Prob gonna regret it. 65 and 10 are clear sailing right now. Only 1 traffic backup according to waze. (Just admitted to using waze)

    Question!

    When you guys do those resets....

    What happens?

    Do you just say FM I'm doing a 34?

    They take any days off away?

    I hear ppl saying I need a reset all the time and never understood it. Just start clock thru midnight problem solved.

    Anyone wanna explain the tricks of that for me?

    I want to abuse it and BT around and do somin cool. Its been awhile.

    No usually it's just lack of freight , think you can choose not to board at terminal ...I like Taylor cause lots stuff close ...used to chill at star bucks with laptop and get free refills on my expensive coffee ...guess mcd's can do same with free small coffee til Sept 29

    They had no freight til Monday ...and I took CANada off last year so not much going on up here

    We only do a reset if we don't have a lot of hours coming back or if they put us under a load that doesn't deliver for a few days and can't drop it anywhere

    I only got resets when I didn't need them -- like a 600-mile Friday dispatch with a Monday delivery.

    Anytime I asked to schedule one I was denied and told to manage my hours better. Last I checked 70 hours/week beats 61.25, but I never did understand FM math (its only an inch away on the map).

    Today has been a crazy day, was suppose to deliver this load here in Avon,OH but all 4 of the warehouses for this company are full they have no where to put the product, so we're taking it back to Orange,TX, 1225 miles. Oh well it's good miles to start the week with !!!
