    There is that.

    As a company driver I'll run as many mt miles as they want to send me. It's all the same pay for me.
    And the planners should consider that when they try to make one of you go that far mt.

    guessing the issue was the boot sequence? I know a lot of newer pc's are set to boot hard drive first which makes it a pain when wanting to boot from cd/dvd

    when i was in Lathrop the other day I watched a yard goat going over the scale for various trailers....


    man this is the most exhausted day I can remember in a very long time, got moved into our new place and being sick still did not make it easier. I had an appointment for the cable guy to be here between 10 and 12 to install my internet, he calls me at 8am telling me he was waiting at the place, I got mad and told him I had it set for 10 to 12 because I did not even do my walk through inspection and get the keys until after 9am, now he has to come back sometime tomorrow which means I have to sit around for him.....lucky though a new neighbor likes to share his wifi without a password ;)

    Caught that bug that was going around and stayed home about 4 days last week sick. Came back out on 2400 mile run nice and light, getting 8 mpgs compared to the 6 mpgs I got on the last load.

    I could command $3bucks a mile for Colorado freight but I hate that place so much....

    Here in ecru for a so called preloaded trailer. Will not be loaded until 1700 and they say jit, no later than 1300, 630 miles. Like that will really happen. At a average speed of 55, looking at 1530. What a great start to a new pay week. Ohhhhhhh how I hate Memphis planners
