    Do a little bit of reading and use the search. Orientation is normally 3 days for USX, if you have all of your ducks in a row.

    Hello Everyone. :biggrin_25511:


    I'm on my "un-planned" home time, but instead of stopping for just one night and heading back out, I elected to take time to have some nuisance issues taken care of on the truck. One of which is an oil leak which should have been repaired the last time I was in. Apparently, Freightliner is taking care of repairs on my truck this go-round.


    I just received word that I've been re-assigned to the Falcons Region (Atlanta-Chattanooga) and I'm back with my original FM out of Tunnel Hill. Well, it didn't just happen.......I kind of had a hand in that. My miles are not consistent in the NE. I get big miles coming out and heading back, but everything in the middle is smaller short runs. My previous FM called me yesterday to give me the news that my request was approved, so I'm back with my old FM when I get back in my truck, which should be on Monday.


    Yaaa Hoooooooo!


    I'll check in later.

    Great news, Wedge. We have had similar mile issues. We averaged 5200 per week last 5 weeks. On hometime until Thursday. We shall see what the miles are coming back out.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Thanks. It's good to hear from you. I hope things pick up for you. I can't imagine that your miles will stay low. There's plenty of freight to be moved, that's for sure, especially for teams

    My week under the Tunnel Hill dispatch started out with a bang and is now in whimper mode, but has nothing to do with dispatch. I'll update shortly.


    Stay safe out there.

    Thanks ATL-1.

    I've been reading about your progress on the other thread. Your 120 will be over in a heartbeat, trust me on that. Stay focused on your training and learn all you can while you have your trainer.

    I'm sure I'll run into one of these days. You live around the corner from me.

    Keep me updated, buddy. :yes2557:

    Very good news, Sammycat.

    I have no problem with receiving. But as I'm sure you know, everything happens for a reason.




    Right now, I'm not rolling anywhere. Suppose I should update, eh?
     
    sammycat Thanks this.
