    I wish I would see loads that light. Last load North was 84,650lbs and the trip before I left with 87,620lbs. That is a 53' reefer loaded with 30 palettes of produce and filled from floor to ceiling.

    Happy to report that scooter and i both have been running quite well these past 2 weeks.

    Most of the drivers here head home for the weekends and those of us who are working clean up. Best time to work here.

    there are the occasional short runs but they pay extra for those.. .50 cpm under 200 miles .46 200 to 299.

    detention pay is automatic when you send empty call in detention comes up almost instantly.

    Glad you are enjoying it. I know it is frustrating when you have to switch jobs.

    I think I just recruited another GTI driver. He was on the TC fleet and said the bottom fell out on it, now dry van. He says he's not making much money either. So, I gave him and his wife the rundown last night. Pretty sure I got this one in the bag. That's two from GTI. Only 1998 more to go...... Ha ha ha.

    What a fun Sunday. Eagles beat the Texans 31-21 (take that drvrtech!), have Rush on the iPod while I'm completely cleaning the truck. Leave about 3 am and deliver Tuesday. Beautiful day to completely clean the interior and the windows. Hope everyone is having a good productive day!

    Sitting here at home. Went to church this morning and took the wife and rugrats to Texas Steakhouse for lunch. Then had to take one of the rugrats back to church for play practice. Yep it has been a good day. Can't say much for ball games as I am not a sports fan. But I hope everyone who is enjoyed the games. Have a short trip tomorrow 1 stop in Winchester VA. and that is it. Leave home at about 5am get up there and unload and about 3 hours back home. I can see it is gonna be a slow week at the plant.
