    I was offered a spot on a home run pod and told that I will make more money than I am currently running a 5 and 2 schedule. Is that possible with the full week off?

    yes, as I understand they try to split a payweek with half running the rest not. That way each pay check you see something. Still at that 3 or 4 days on a check blows. Similar to the 6 on 3 off schedule. Because its slip seat and they have a guy coming back on that same day or the next you will get home on time.

    I think 48Packard was on that board before he quit us. Pm him, he'll give you a no BS assessment. Hes a good dude.

    I had a bigtime hard break a month ago when I was headed up to Cheyenne from some dumb farm, northeast of Denver. I went to pass a slower truck and I had saw that there was another oncoming truck, but I had plenty of time to pass. I made my move and #### near had a head on with a car that didn't have his headlights on. Country road, so there was only starlight and our headlight. Dove the front end pretty good and got a phone call asking about it the next day. Didn't have to sign anything. But it was also the only one I have had since I started in August

    Interesting. I have only had one hard break since I started and they have never said anything to me about it.

    How much tread? Doesn't matter on tires your driving on snow n ice. Want better traction throw some chains or cables

    About 80%... I can spit out the window in the summer time and these drive tires will lose traction

    Thanks for the advice but unfortunately now I'm going to be out for a while. I broke my right arm this morning.
