    Ok here is an update. Going to post the trips I have done with dates and miles so you can kind of see what to expect.

    01/11 Aurora,CO - 01/13 Chillicothe,MO 861 miles

    01/13 Chillicothe,MO - 01/16 Dallas,TX - 01/16 Tyler,TX - 01/17 Hattiesburg,MS 1479 miles

    01/17 Hattiesburg,MS - 01/18 Des Moines, IA 925 miles

    01/19 Des Moines,IA - 01/23 Houston,TX 1252 miles with layover pay

    01/23 Houston,TX - 01/25 Aurora,CO 1042 miles

    01/25 Aurora,CO - 01/25 Aurora,CO getting paid extra for that load. besides needed a empty trl.

    So right now I have done 5564 miles and working on another 1200 plus I have two more trip already lined up with about 2200 miles in them. So within 3 weeks I will have about 8900 miles give or take a few miles. Mind you that they are all paid miles and not short miles.

    If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Will do my best to give you a answer.

    I forgot you had this thread already...and I got my pom poms out on tha other thread-for tha wrong company however! LMAFO! Not to bad on the miles espescially in jan,probably the slowest month of the year. And doin it in style with that KB18 style wagon! I'm jealous...twin stacks,led's,apu,polished wheels,chrome flap hangers, don't tell me its got a rosewood dash? Prolly got 13 or more gauges too? Maybe button and tuck leather interior? Dayuuuum, and I got ta look at this cheap arsed cranberry pos that pulls so hard to the right I let go of the steering wheel to go around a curve,with my shimmying steering wheel and recap square tires! Uh oh...now I've done it,better find my pom poms again.

    Yep got everything you said except to shimmy, recaps. The truck I have rides as smooth as the road allows. As for the Pom pins I don't have those. Still feeling this company out and posting as I find out stuff. I'm sure the luster will fade but until then I'll set back and enjoy.
