    thats great, I live in Indiana, and my first 3 or 4 years, if I put on for home time, they'd keep me in the area so I could get home. So the week before I was off, I might get 1,400 miles. That hurt. It's better now and on course to get a raise this year. I'd move to Iowa, but they don't cook with salt and pepper, or spices. The best pork chop sandwich in the state at Grandmas Kitchen in Walcott tasted like cardboard.
    i apologize to all cardboard.

    I barely got my miles last year. Of course with my medical leave this year not a snow ball's chance in hades! :biggrin_2559:

    once I maxed out at .47, I couldn't get 120k if I held a gun to Tonn's head. It wasn't from a lack of effort...I pushed for every mile I could get, but I guess they were saving them for their lesser paid newer hires. They claimed that they couldn't see your pay rate or years of service, but you could always tell who was close to the top pay just by listening...the higher the per mile, the more they BMW'd about not getting miles(which included me). You could call it the Crete Not-so-Merry Go Round.

    I knocked down 125k paid miles in my 11 months. Perhaps there may be some truth in SSB's suspicions. Seeing how I was .39cpm.

    Waiting to get loaded, parked beside a big dumpster, I might fill it up as apparently a pig lives in here. If I get loaded in time, it looks like a Friday night in Little Rock. YIPEE

    Go WPX :)

    Done cleaning, this truck is spotless, if it had a camera you'd think it was brand new. I told myself I couldn't turn off Covino and Rich until I had everything cleaned.
