    2,700 miles a week average?
    That won't happen here if you take hometime or ever breakdown. Recruiters that don't have a CDL can average those numbers here.

    Me, I lowered my expected average miles with maximum hometime to 1,600 miles per week. A lot less stress aiming for 7,000 miles a month then striving for any more.
    The load I delivered Tuesday morning got Transflowed Sunday morning, after my hometime was up.

    I got a Level 3 last Monday along I 40 in Tennessee so I made an easy $25. I sat in the troopers back seat to get out of the wind, no leg room, plus the door latch didn't work , he rolled down the window so I could reach the outside handle to let myself out. I was like Helen Keller feeling for that latch, and I had to moan with my other hand.
    Thank God I'm white and didn't have to worry about getting shot, but then I can't loot because I got pulled over in the first place, but then if I was an Indian I wouldn't pay taxes, but I'd have to tear up every time I saw litter,
     
    Bumper Thanks this.

    Did you hear about the private plane that crashed in a Polish cemetery last week? Over 500 bodies were recovered.

    I did just watch Roots, for the first time since 1977, oddly Alex Haley stole the story from a book called "The African". It might not have been a true story, but it was a great story.

    I forgot the Asians. Cops won't pull them over, they got such bad eyesight, they never see the red and blue lights in the mirror.

    WARNING! Trucking Related!!

    Why Prostar? Why put spring loaded hose clamps on all the coolant hoses? If I have even the slightest coolant leak, my bunk heater puts out no heat up front, and then the cold up front mixes with the normal in back and makes it super hot in back.

    When I wAs home, I slid under the beast and tightened most all the hoses, because it was dripping real bad, ugh!!
    Sorry it took so long to write this, I was typing with one hand and cussing with the other.

    I'm sure my annual average is at least 2700/week. I didn't run quite as hard this last year, but still made around 122500 miles with 60 days of home time/vacation time.
