    That's a North Pac. Half a West Pac. You should give yourself a urine analysis for cause.

    I Agree we need vote this in however lets set the bar I know of a driver-owner op who drove for 18 years then retired from driving was home every night just feet away from his bed. I know of a company driver a similar 5 years we need you to take the bar to 6 years if you are the company man. 19 for owner op.

    We need votes and support for him, everyone, place it. on the roll on and Godspeed.

    You must have chosen home, which explains why I found loads through the southwest this week. Stay home for a month or two. These loads pay great.

    Well this what happened.

    First) I said I was going to turn off the phone, and didn't. I definitely was not taking that load near my delivery.

    Second) I answered the phone.

    Third) This load was like 3 miles from the house. I've done this load twice before.
    $3500........NO.
    $3800..............................N...Nn.......NO.
    $4000...........I can pick it up around noon.

    I did stop at the house for like an hour though. Showered. Got the mail. And had an ice cream sandwich.
