    Never heard of Family Day. Had to Google it. There's actually a wiki page all about it. Interesting.

    I wish I could. There is a rule I can get a load that forwards me to my next load but I'm not sure how exactly it works and getting caught interstating is no joke so I just do a load in, a load out. K.I.S.S.

    And against the law!!
    Cabotage is what it is called.
    Therule about furthering you to a load while in the USA is only for moving empty trailer that you did not take down from one place to another.

    Thanks, but no worries, I'm just bored and sick of IHOP. Stop at walmart and grab some groceries and go to the pilot for a change of scenery is in the cards I think. Lord knows I've finished my 3rd reset....lol
    Thanks again tho,
     
    CAXPT Thanks this.

    We got unloaded in 20 minutes at 0650 this morning, and had to turn down two loads cause we didn't have the hours.

    What holiday?
     
    CAXPT Thanks this.
