    Unless they have me go over 100 miles it's always been free. Usually don't have to go far for a trailer and usually it's at the place they send you.

    Only time I got paid was in California and deadheading 200 miles to get an empty.

    I've always had the miles added, no matter how many or how few.

    On a load that delivers in Norfolk, NE tomorrow night. Have to wait until 1800 tonite to pick it up outside Bolingbrook, IL, which is good because the trailer needs washed out because it had a meat load, and coming from Chicago to Bolingbrook, there aren't too many washout options. I ended up going all the way to Joliet before finding one open. They offered me another JBS load to the Seattle area after this one, but it had to pu by 9am Thursday, and I can't do it. Besides, because of the Peoplenet foul-up of my 34 and that last messed up meat load, I get very few hours back tonight, Friday and Saturday. Not entirely sure I could make it to the delivery by 4 am Sunday...and to be honest, I couldn't care less about heading out there right now...I have had another frustrating day and just about had enough of pulling a 53' fridge/freezer around.

    What a mess. Colorado and Kansas were just extremely cold temps and a few inches of snow compared to that ####.

    I spent my first night in my new LT in Marion Indiana last night. Was 16 degrees and the truck that normally does not idle, idled all night. It has a bunk heater and TK APU so I was sure I would survive the night. In Monroe Michigan right now and it’s a balmy 26 but heading to 6 later on. Not staying, just needed something to eat.

    They're lucky it's you instead of me...I'da had someone in Lincoln in tears by now if I were sitting there this long...either that or there would be an empty truck sitting in Deland, 'brought to you by PC'
