    I don't know if that would be such a good idea if you are assigned a preload.

    What I would do is talk to your dispatchers boss.be polite and professional.since you have your computer with you,startlooking for another job.even if u see results after talking to the boss there's a good chance this won't stick month after month when wanting Home time.

    I've never stayed out longer than two weeks, ever. The three nights a week I spend in the truck now are pushing it but the money is good.

    I run up to Fargo each week from Texas and I see a dozen Western Express trucks between Omaha and Fargo on I-29 every week. They pull flat beds with tarped loads. I would tell them you want on that account or simply find a new employer. Also should be noted that there is no shortage of daycabs in and out of Sioux Falls. Other than the extremely harsh brutal winters, that's some easy running up there in the Dakotas.
