    It's been great except for the root canal I'm getting tomorrow. But we both have retiree medical, dental and vision so that's definitely a blessing.

    Ok boys it's that time again so I figured I'd show you guys what my week has been looking like. I've had a few good weeks as of late so here's what I've done this week.

    Home - Knoxville, TN (399 miles}
    Knoxville, TN - Nashville, TN (185 miles)
    Nashville, TN - Orlando, FL (641 miles)
    Orlando, FL - Atlanta, GA (395 miles)
    Atlanta, GA - Birmingham, AL (158 miles)
    Birmingham, AL - Knoxville, TN (265 miles)
    Knoxville, TN - Chattanooga, TN (113 miles)
    Chattanooga, TN - Knoxville, TN (113 miles)

    As it stands now in about an hour...

    Knoxville, TN - HOME (399 miles)

    So... 2668 in miles. Week started off strong but yesterday traffic kinda killed what I had left. Ended the day with almost 3 hours. Could've went back to Chattanooga, but nope small crap terminal. Might work tomorrow I'll see how I feel.

    Freight must be crazy. It was like 30 drivers at the hotel last night. I waited off duty 15 hours for them to send me home empty

    We're super busy so I decided to start running my 6th day. Two weeks ago I ran 3,770 miles and this past week was 3,880. I'll probably grab something shorter this weekend and end up with 3,650.

    I'm at $88,326 but I should be at $92,329 which is where I'd be if I hadn't been canceled for weather over the winter and a some no freight days.

    My schedule pays 146k with no via's or extra days. I called dispatch earlier and told them I want to run at 5pm today. What is really cool here is they let me choose what I do when I run my 6th day.
