    Glad to hear they are running you well. I am in Stockton Ca at the moment hanging out at the hotel. Heading out to Houston on Friday. Should be running from there to NC late next week. Maybe we cross paths.

    As excited as I am having just moved from company driver to O/O it pales in comparison to...

    ...seeing fresh and new Scooterdawg posts!

    WELCOME BACK!!

    I can't count the times I've run thru Mt. Airy blindly calling out for "Scooterdawg" on the radio (even added triple digits to the watts) in hopes of hookin' up and pickin' yer brain!

    I feel like I just got home and crawled into my Lazy Boy; all is right with the world.

    I believe, at least as of last December, they had a dedicated Boar's Head fleet. If it was anything like mine with Calex, if your on it, or filling in for someone, you'll be in Brooklyn every other night.

    Not sure where their hiring radius is, but I would imagine if Kurtis was going to send you a packet, they would be interested in you. Call Rebecca at 276-223-9810 and tell her Mark gave you her number and she will either get you taken care of or point you in the right direction.

    I've been back and forthe to Richmond simply out of dumb luck, but they DO run all 48. Guess I have just been in the right place at the right time

    OK, update time.....

    Right now, I am on hometime in NC. From Tuesday, 10-2 (6:pm) thru yesterday (Thursday) @ 2pm, I ran 4168 miles. That included me shutting down at the Richmond yard at 2pm on Wednesday.

    I was scheduled to have hometime this Saturday and Sunday, but we worked a load out where I could get home Thursday afternoon, leave out Sunday morning, and deliver Monday by noon just outside Tampa. Nice way to start the week. PLUS, I will get to swing by and see my parents on the way, and grab a bite to eat. I have no doubt they will be sitting on a load for me to leave FLA as soon as I get there. No idea where, but its all good.

    Nice to get home and grab the things I forgot, or decided I need. I have all the time in the world to do what I need to, so when I get back on the road, I'll be set. I'm referring it to Volvo version 2.0 hehehehehehe

    When you see me coming, it'll look something like this....
