    I'm only going 300 miles. Vegas to Bakersfield. Only scale house is 225ish miles away.

    You will be good. You will burn that fuel after 60 miles or so

    607 miles last week. I guess I'm not eating until the 15th. No miles and no hometime has left me mad. Almost mad enough... Still no call from a DM. Guess I'm a nomad for now.

    Mrh2008, my advice is this...start looking at other co's...don't wait till Melton causes you to lose everything you own..protect yourself

    The problem is, I don't know of a company that'll give me similar pay and benefits. This 607 mile week was because I had a 1400 mile load drop the morning after pay period cutoff and my DM didn't push the pay thru. I do make good money here. About 3x what I made at my last company.

    I hop the problem with my hometime was my DM, I've been home on time 33% of the time since starting.

    Well here is a update for the last few weeks , did 2000 one load first week out of hometime,then 2200 3 loads next week,last week was 2700 3 loads,this week I will have 2700 on Monday at the cut off.kind of a bummer though I got 5.5 hours detention Monday then ran 1976 Tuesday thru Friday at 2:30,then got my face shat on with a 770 mile 2 drop western exscrewsion load picks up 10 pm Saturday night for Monday morning.had to happen sooner or later I guess it's been a while since th last on. This will be my 9th or 10th load under 825 miles except for one 925er. I have loaded or unloaded every day except on Sundays which I will this week. Too much fun. By the way I am in dallas

    They usually ask you if you have the hours. Or you tell them you dont have the hours and they give you a different load... ;)
