    otherwise it was going to cause a wreck ... thing was almost completely intact and very heavy

    Well this last week has been back to busting out the miles. Nine day average back to 2932 which I suppose is going to be the common number likely going forward. Rolling back in the west and staying out of the Carolinas is definitely the smart play in my opinion. Snagged a three stopper into Kansas, Iowa and finishing up tomorrow at Cottage Grove which worked out really well with the hours I had left. OB called and asked me to take a load they were trying to get shed of that I suppose noone wanted. Two stopper in Arapahoe, NE and Denver. Not really thrilled with Denver this time of the year but will hopefully be able to knock both out by early Thursday and snag a painless Backhaul that gets me back on the OB board for Saturday.

    Week 1 (3445 miles, 1 p/u)
    Week 2 (3194 miles, 2 drops)
    Week 3 (2636 miles, 6 drops)
    Week 4 (2828 miles, 3 drops, 2 home days)
    Week 5 (2994 miles, 1 drop, 1 home day)
    Week 6 (3110 miles, 4 drops)
    Week 7 (1951 miles, 2 p/u, 3 days layover)
    Week 8 (2709 miles, 2 drops, layover day)
    Week 9 (3526 miles, 1 drop)

    Forced into trucking retirement due to family issues. Could perhaps return but would have to find a company that allowed kids to travel with you.

    Can you tell me the route from Chester SC? Where are the main drop offs for the loads from Chester at the new Carolina Poly plant? Considering signing up. Thanks.

    Florida,Georgia,Maryland, New Jersey and Massachusetts. I'm sure there's more but those are the common destinations out of Chester.

    Are you trying to get on as regional only? Because if you're otr but Chester was your home terminal, that doesn't mean much.

    Oh that makes sense thanks. Are there still issues with the loads being ready on time? Also, do you ever drop loads back to Grand Prairie, TX?

    Our plants do transfers between themselves all the time. Are you trying to do over the road or regional? wondering if they actually hiring for regional only.
