    I don't really care if I don't go west, just don't like going far northeast. My miles are great when I am Midwest to southeast area of the country. I do well as long as I avoid I95.

    Jessica must be on the rag today, I got a nasty message about taking to long a 10 hour break,
    But Monday I got complimented about telling them that I needed an extra day off at home.

    How long was your break? Do they usually monitor your time like that?

    First time I ever heard about my break, I parked at 20:56 and went on Line 3 at 7:23 after my 15 minute PTI.
    Now she's blaming the computer.... But then, so would I

    I've never been monitored. If I'm out 21 days you get 3 off. If you pull up to the house on Thursday at anytime, you then take your 3 days off (Fri, sat, sun). Then you accept a load on Monday morning at 8am. Day you get home doesn't count. You can come back early if you want. I'll be out 8 weeks this time but will only take off 4.

    I would say you can but 6 or 7 is probably the limit. I would let my asset manager know that is the plan. I've heard guys take that long.
