    You guys have nice equipment and give a new meaning to pulling doubles.I know you here in the states pull one trl but in Canada ive seen many of you pull 2 53 ft trls.I thought WOW now that's what I call pulling doubles.

    Actually, I said I grossed "a little over 70K". I made $1440.19 per week. I ran a weekly turn from Detroit to Brownsville, TX. I picked up a loaded trailer in Detroit Monday evening and pulled into Brownsville Wednesday evening. Live unload/load @ 7 A.M. Thursday morning & ran as fast as my governed truck would go (65 mph) to get through Houston before the afternoon rush hour. Dropped my loaded trailer in Detroit mid-afternoon on Saturday.

    The company calculated it as a bit under 3,500 miles @ 40 cpm but we are paid vacation pay on a weekly basis, rather than actually receive a paid vacation.

    Let me know when you find one. I take it that you're another member of the Psychic Friends Network. Smooches to Dionne.

    You forgot one:
