    Thanks. I am from Bavington, near Burgettstown. I worked at the Allegheny County Airport for a long time before getting laid off. No work in A&P right now. All State is directly across the street. I used to drive 31 miles each way, 5 days a week for 12 hours of work. Now I drive 31 miles each way 2 times a week for 10 hours of school while I collect unemployment and learn a new career. Good thing they have financial aid. It's $10,000!!! I could never afford that out of pocket lol

    Well home again today after finishing off a Christmas run into Richmond down to Wilmington, NC and then picking up a load in Henderson, NC tomorrow morning. Heading to just south of Atlanta with it and hoping to get a load returning home for my "normal" hometime, we'll see I suppose.

    I have to give Crete a thanks at least on my part as they came through like they promised with getting me home with a 270ish mile dead head and then letting me take another 200+ mile out of the way trip to the house, must be a logistical nightmare to get everyone home.

    Surprising that they are only giving you Schafer option as I live in Durham. I can't really give you a solid idea of Schafer miles as I don't have any dealings with that portion but my miles are staying steady at around 2800-3000/week. So far they have treated me very well and I have little to complain about.

    Sitting at home now until the 4th. Just going to get in some relaxation and beer drinking time:) Happy New Years to everyone, hope 2012 is a great year for you all.

    Schaffer is moving to "asset managers" and the plan is to roll out the asset manager in Crete in 2012. The will start with the regional drivers first. I am a regional RDO6, so I'll let you know how it goes...

    Well its ok sort of.. after 430 and weekends you get whoever but during the week you have the same person no matter what area ur in. You will get a message from ur assigned person introducing themselves the day you switch and from then on when you send a free form it goes to ur person or whoever they forward to when out or gone.
