    They are running me hard which is great but not towards home yet. I will be in Indiana Friday and hopefully home Monday. Supposed to be home today.
    Drove through some terrible weather early this morning Laramie to Denver. Ended well though. I stopped at a little fuel stop and had some rocky mountain oysters. Picking up tomorrow and hustling to Indiana.

    Ya weather over there is supposed to be crap (Laramie, WY thur Nebraska) with another storm on the way. I'm sitting in seattle picking up a redbull load in morning takes me back to Boise, ID. Going to stay home for the weekend and roll out monday with a load out of Nampa, ID. headed to West Virginia.

    Glad to hear your getting the miles again, you show them you like to run and they will run you as hard as you want to go. Keep it safe out there broski hope to run into you again, and this time get to chat! :D

    Finally got the truck washed at the beacon and it looks great. Dispatch has me hooked up tight for the weekend. Got empty very early Saturday and have two loads for the weekend about 1000 miles. Will be ending in ATL Monday afternoon. Hopefully I finally get loaded toward Arkansas. Supposed to have been home this past Wednesday.

    I am not worried about it. No big plans just ready for a few days off.

    Finally off for a few days leaving out Sunday morning. Since the 23rd of last month through today when I dropped my load I ran 7215 miles. I don't really keep track of my miles for the most part. I just make sure the trips are on there and if I know one had a change then I be sure to follow up on it. I had my DM check my miles to see how I was doing. I was thinking it was around 2400 a week and sure enough it averages out to 2475 a week.
    They hit me with another hair test random today. That is the third hair test and I have have had two urine tests as well since I began driving. I asked him today if he was trying to tell me something. I just have all the luck I guess. Looks like I will finish out the quarter hitting all three bonus tiers as well. I am on track for .02 fuel, .01 production, and .01 safety paid on all miles ran for the quarter.
    Turned in 290.00 of receipts too that they reimbursed me on today, food restocked, truck swept out and organized, pizza bought, beer bought, and picked up the dog from her boarding facility. Just chillin' until Sunday now.

    Amazing that, as huge of a company that Knight is, almost nobody is commenting on any Knight threads.
    Trying to figure that out; Good? Bad?
    Could it mean that Knight is so wonderful that everybody is too busy counting their money from that large, driver salary?
    Or could it be the opposite; such poor pay that the drivers can't even afford computers?

    Knight is quite small compaired to some of the other companys on this fourm, and everyones experience differs. As I have said multiple times a company is what you make of it wether that be with Knight or any other company out there.
