    I'm extra board, I've had to wait for a load one for an hour in Orlando once.

    More often than not they have a load on my dashboard app before I even get where I'm going.

    I've been up there for one week.

    Besides that I pretty much stay in a triangle between Kansas City, Dallas and Orlando.

    It's not a bad gig. :)

    Been out for a month now. Seems like we are somewhat back to the old ways. In Denver, even headed back to SLC today. Been shuffling between KC and Denver the past 4 days. Fargo to Billings, Fargo to KC,

    If you can stay out of the Northeast I enjoyed it. But when you lay down @ 055 and get up and do norristown Philly Jersey City pinebrook Harrisburg it's just a depressing day. Then get up and go back east. At that point your ready to ghost ride the truck.

    A “system” bid went up at my barn. 5 days out. Nobody wanted it.

    I might go that route once I get too old for 20 stops a day.
