    I’m in Georgia at my favorite Waffle House. Getting a taste of what everyone’s been complaining about. Waiting on my 10 hr break to be over. Ready to run. Have another 4 hrs till I can. Gives a whole new meaning to the term “Prisoner of the Highway”

    When did you start going over the road again? Are you done with local work?

    Doing local still. Occasionally something needs covered. Went to Youngstown last week. Now Georgia. Not making a habit of it. Other local jobs available if needed. No definite plans. Everything’s subject to change.

    Filled up last night in TN for 2.87 with discount. This is what the experts say:
    A $7 per barrel increase in oil prices (from reduced Iranian exports) could raise gasoline prices by roughly 15–20 cents per gallon, assuming no other market disruptions.

    Rates rates rates. They’re always too low. Fuels always too high. Shops are always incompetent. Looks like everything’s just about average. Thinking about pulling a reefer.

    Me too.. seems like a good market for where i live. Especially for company jobs, could increase my pay probably 20%.
    wish someone would beat me over the head once in awhile, when I get the grass is always greener thoughts going in my brain
