    You beast! Now I wanna do some calculations of my own. This week has been busy for me.

    I was blessed with two loads to keep me busy until the 28th, I didn't even have to ask! I also get a day of layover. Has anyone ever said "I love my dispatchers"? ;)

    PU Arlington TX, DROP Dacula GA.
    ...then...
    PU Shelby NC (0700-1600 window) DROP Brighton MI.

    Headed toward the house for some unexpected, unofficial home time. :)

    Edit: looks like once I land in Brighton Michigan on the 28th I'll be at 9255 miles. That's with six days of Hometime.

    Sorry if it seems like I'm bragging. That's not my intention. Just sharing. I get excited because this is the first job I've had that I genuinely enjoy doing.

    Well....

    Ashley informed me to drop & hook at Hopkins MN for tomorrow. Then the "bad" news...the only load I can get going home is a 2 drop from Gaylord to San Antonio PLUS 2 days of layover because load loads Sunday @ 2000 & delivers Wednesday am @ 0400 & 1200. I'll be a day late getting home (which I already planned because I waited until the last minute to put in home time) but I can honestly say I'll take that kind of "bad" news any day. I emailed her & said "That'll work & thank you". Maybe next time, I'll plan better lol

    I can't quite match as many miles as @radioshark , but this has been one of my better months. I think I will actually be close to 11k before any ghost miles added. This also included a 7 hour wait to be unloaded, and a 19 hour wait on the reload (which got cancelled). And some layover time waiting for my load to western ND.

    Took Baxter 6.5 hours to load a drop trailer today, but...honestly, since I wasn't gonna' have the hours to make CR by tomorrow anyway, it's a good time to have a long load time. You can't win 'em all. Just screws up my 34, but Ashley got me a Monday morning load headed to within 70 miles of home, and 2 days before my requested day. All in all, one of my better months...

    Nah, I didn't even think you were bragging, heck radio beat you real bad, and you'll have more than me. That's fine with me.
    I'm glad you like the new job,plus it's nice they get you by home without asking.
    Most companies have a computer program that wont allow drivers near their home, until they put in for hometime.
     
    Zata40 Thanks this.

    Or, their program knows when you get within 20 or 30 miles of home and counts that as home time, and resets the RDO counter.

    Question:
    I'm assuming you guys have E-logs ,
    Is it possible that you can pull them up and email them to your self or a DOT
    officer if he requests them ?
