    So are you reaching your income goals/expectations at Shaffer?

    Though I left I still feel $$$ wise for me there's no other OTR company I could make more money with than with Crete/Shaffer.

    Looks like you spend an awful lot of time east of I75. I know you've been to Il and Wi a few times and 1 trip to California but looks like the rest is Ohio and east.

    Sort of. I set my mileage expectations lower than normal for me and that is what I am experiencing. Looking like the 60k I expected. Could easily be 65k if utilized more efficiently. Not a fan of recapping but that's what I've experienced so far.

    Yep, North/South running most of the time up and down the Eastern mountains. Gonna start pushing for some East/West runs. At least over to I35. That California run I sweet talked out of Corrie on the weekend shortly after that breakdown stint. It didn't come from my regular Asset Manager.

    You seemed to run further west then I75 if I remember correctly? I know lots of NE but I thought you at least got west of I75 on a regular basis, no?
