    I'm sitting on a 34 because I have 1.5 hours left. Not bad considering. on this 70 it was

    1. Hesperia, CA (where I reset my 70 enroute) to Mira Loma, CA
    2. Mira Loma, CA to Vernon, CA
    3. Vernon, CA to Spokane, WA
    4. Spokane, WA to Prosser, WA
    5. Prosser, WA to Bethlehem, PA
    6. Bethlehem, PA to Carteret, NJ
    7. Carteret, NJ to Eau Claire, WI.

    Not it too shabby.

    I took it that you did all those trips in a week. The 5300+ miles was just a rough estimate in my head. If I was on The Price is Right, I may have won the showcase. :)
     
    joseph1135 and tow614 Thank this.

    Well we got bad news today. Called the recruiter last week and started to get the ball rolling. Background check, work history, yada yada all comes back clean and just needed the final ok from the boss. Got the call today that our home location is out of range by 20 miles. The guy we're talking to is going to try to do some sweet talking to boss man on Monday. Man, sure was hoping this would be the exit out!! It's going to be a looooong weekend. :biggrin_2553:

    I had that happen to me with Holland out of Fargo. When we moved to San Antonio Texas they told me we were no longer in their area of operation and I had to leave the company.
