I sure hope so! As for being inseparable, probably not. After about 15 days, I tend to want my own space. And most people get on my nerves!
Not that I'm difficult or anything.

Hello There.
Nothing like home time...........aaahhhhh.
Rolled into Ellenwood, GA terminal late Saturday morning, 3 days late for my time off. Mostly my doing. I picked up a load in Newberry, SC bound for Mt. Vernon, IL that was supposed to be repowered. It turned out USX had trouble chasing one down. So I volunteered to haul the load into IL, provided they get me right back as the clock was ticking on my Med. Cert. It was a good run (665 mi).
The back haul was a load of flour from Conagra in Alton, IL headed to Tampa, FL. This time the repower was set up ahead of time, and I met the relay tractor at our terminal in Tunnel Hill, GA. I would have liked all 1120 miles of that one, but getting the physical done is a high priority item.
So putting in the 2 extra days added another 1200 + miles to the total for next week.
Last week: 1504 miles, caused by not getting a 514 mile trip scanned in time due to a delay at the receiver.
I've been talking to other USX drivers about "in-cab" scanning of trip sheets. It would help getting those last minute sheets scanned in before the pay-day cut off.
DOT Physical:
Went up to USX in Tunnel Hill to renew my medical certificate, and everything was going fine until the PA noticed that I use a CPAP. She looked through my supporting documentation and said "You need to update your doctors letter for your CPAP every year. You need to get that done."
So I left with half of my physical done, put a call in to my doctor in hopes of getting in to see him ASAP, and,acquiring said needed document. Going in to see the doc tomorrow @ 1000, and then back up to Tunnel Hill on Wednesday morning to finish up my physical.
I'll update in a couple days.
Thanks for reading.
