    Don't worry, Sammycat. I had clear sailing all the way home.

    My southbound load was a D&H so I was able to stay ahead of the weather.........to a point. I camped out in London, KY and woke up to some light freezing rain. No real travel problems with the exception of 2 delays caused by inverted 4 wheelers.

    I made it home, on-time, Friday late afternoon.

    Just wanted to say Merry Christmas to Wedge for this great thread and to all the other participants. I am home for the holidays and will take the truck to the shop today for loose king pins after 65,000mls. The guys at Meritor must have had a bad day when they banged that one together.

    Enjoy the holidays and obviously it is back to work since the world did not fall apart on us.
     
    Wedge Thanks this.

    Which Family Dollar are yo uout of? I applied last month and was good-to-go for orientation a couple of weeks ago until Austin called to say the acct (Duncan,OK) was closed for now, but would I like SE regional? I said let's talk again after the holidays. But even the regional gigs they are advertising pay .38, .05 more than I'm at now. Are you home every weekend?
