    Yes grocery outlet is where you park. For miles, stay away from the southwest div. Go 48, you won't do 48, but the miles are a lot better, especially after they figure out you are on time and don't get lost. If you are really good, they might offer a dedicated route!:biggrin_25519:

    The Grocery Outlet is one of our drop yards. On the U.S. fleet you will also have the opportunity to do Canada with extra $ to cross each way.

    The states you run will be determined by your hometime requests. In the last 12 months I have been home late twice, the longest 2 days. I have been home early on 2 occasions, 1 day each. I run 25 or 31 days to get 4 or 5 days off.

    Sal, you can't really take your truck home...butttttttt you need to ask your DM and he'll let you know if it's possible.Usually only guys that live way far away from a terminal can take their truck home.That being said, I used to take mine home to wash it and just drop the trlr in our yard.When I got off of hometime, I right away put in for my next hometime which was right around 3 weeks out. That way I got it put in the planners computer for time off so they could schedule me correctly.
