    Yes they do. You are given DH miles at time of dispatch. (you get Loaded miles and dh miles with the dispatch) The only time they didnt pay DH miles was coming off home time.

    Lookin good Baritone!

    Keep updating your Youtube vids. Looks to me like you are going to do very well. BTW, how far west does Millis run?

    Thanks - glad you like them. Right now I believe Ft. Worth and Waco are about as far as we run. I will say those are becoming more frequent also. Works for me as I do get tired of the NE.

    I'm sitting in Cartersville tonight. Only had 5 hrs avail today so I stopped in Cartersville for the day. Have about 4 hrs tomorrow so will deliver my load in the morning. Figured I would go ahead and get my service work done and low and behold - they find a problem and the truck has to go to CAT since it's a dealer issue. So I grab a "loaner" so I can still deliver tomorrow. Not bad - got a T2000 as a loaner. Man I could get used to the room in this thing.

    Just hope I can get unloaded quickly or I'll be sitting in LaGrange GA tomorrow until I have more hrs. Really tried to get a local to deliver this load so I could get a reset while my truck was being worked on - not gonna happen it appears.

    Oh well - could be worse! :biggrin_25513:

    Baritone, glad things are still going well for ya (somewhat). I told spanky and I'll say the same to you, when you come through Florence, KY and have the time to take a break I'll buy ya a coffee or soda.

    I got a seat in the Sept 27th class. I'm getting stoked about getting back out there.
     
    Skydivedavec Thanks this.

    Man I am through there all the time. I live in Lexington Ky so I run I75 a lot.

    Congrats on the seat in the class. Where will you be training so If I am through there I can stop in and say hi.

    Well I ended up sitting in Cartersville all day today waiting on my truck. It was finally ready about 4PM today. I talked to my dispatcher and just decide to stay here tonight so I can complete a reset and not be chasing hrs for the next few days.

    Glad to have her back even though I loved the room in the T2. Will roll out early tomorrow as I need some miles with all the down time this week.

    Please - Please be safe out there. To many accidents and there is no load worth that.
     
    Hitman and Skydivedavec Thank this.

    Sorry to Hijack the thread for a quick second...

    I'll be going to the Millis school, and was wondering if I will need a car to get to and from the hotel, or if my wife can just drop me off.

    I'll be attending in Ohio.

    TY
