Lol..Hi Bill!
I turned in 3 trips for last week. .2,800 miles..I did a drop hook in Wichita today after getting a free lunch at the shop.. Thanks ACT! Great cook out! It's nice to sit around and talk to drivers, rarely do I get to talk with them while on the road. .(because ACT drivers don't run with their radios on. .turn your radios on! Lol)
This is the only company I've been with that the owners are so approachable. . They sat at the table with us. . Chatting. . Laughing etc.. It's a shame that this should seem strange. .but I've been at companies with armed guards. . Bullet proof glass. . And watched as armed security guards escorted executives to and from their cars (CR England)..SMH
Anyway, I load tomorrow and head to East Point Ga..quick thousand mile run..
Stay safe
Return to ACT (American Central Transport)

Large parking area. .paved.. friendly people. . Not ALOT of 4 Wheeler traffic. . And the best part. .
Breakfast..2 eggs. .2 pieces of toast. .2 sausage patties that were bigger than a McDonald's burger.. hash browns. .$4.00
Heck with the Petro at x99. (That breakfast would have cost 9$) -
I'm at the Petro in Gary right now. Did my d-n-h in Munster then came back here.probably do so laundry in the morning. I pick up at DOT Foods in Joliet tomorrow. QC says that it's a new customer. Don't be late.
Be safe y'all -

Hey Roadcall,
I checked and I'm actually going to Vidalia Ga. It's off of hwy 16 towards Savannah. I ALMOST hope that they lay me over because im currently running on recap hrs.I have 7hrs today and about 7.5hrs tomorrow. I pick up 10hrs Saturday at midnight. So it looks like I'll be doing a little night running. .
anj8488 - I do have the wipes.I use them for most everything.RoadCall Thanks this. -
Thanks Stormy, good to hear. If your low on hours that's a good sign.
So I'm curious, do they try to talk you in to leasing a truck after a while? -
Not at all. Lol the only one that says I should is jaguar115 . But he believes that i will make more money and be even happier. He's a friend and just wants to see me succeed. So far like I've said, I'm really happy as a company driver here. I get home when i want, nobody bugs me while I'm at home. But my dispatcher will call me and give me my load info so I know what time I should be ready to roll out. Yeah this is a pretty good place to work. Some paychecks are small (350) but I've also had $130** taken out on advances plus my health insurance of about $140? a week. Most of my checks are around 700 give or take a little bit. Some may laugh at that amount but it works out pretty good for my family. Money is only relative to each individual. I wished I started working here long ago.

Lol Bill.. Yes you'll make more money BUT it's more responsibility, and with the deductions you mention and a maintenance fund. . Plus taxes. .
I make about the same as you. ..I just have the pleasure or headache of owning the truck (in 17 months!) Then, knock on wood, I give myself a 30k year raise.
I did my d/h at Dicks in East Point GA..I received a pre plan loading in Midland GA and heading to Lawrence KS..D/H both ends. .Lawrence is as fast as I can get it there but doesn't have to be there til Monday. So I'm heading to the yard, then the house. .laundry and golf with a few refreshments sounds good to me. .
I'll be North bound out of Hotlanta shortly. .be safestormy379 Thanks this.
