Start at McElroy on Monday!

The longest I've stayed out has been from Sunday thru Friday. There have only been two weeks so far like that. All the others I've been "home" (i.e., at my mom-in-law's, since we don't have a place here yet) at least once during the week. Usually I spend two to three nights a week at her place. It just varies. Some guys stay out up to 14 days, but that's generally b/c that's what they prefer. Of course, I can only speak in regard to the Decatur terminal. Not sure how the others operate. Was at the Savannah, GA terminal this past Sunday night. Only tractors they run are the smaller flat top sleepers. Talked to one of their drivers & he said they're generally home every night, but sometimes are gone overnight.
Still looking for a place. Think we may have found something though. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before we can sign on the dotted line & get the move done. Switched over to a 2013 rig last week. Really strange at first driving an automatic tho, but I'm getting used to it. All Volvo, motor & tranny. Pretty smooth!

 

No, she's still at our place in north Mississppi, & working in Tupelo. I typically come back over here during my 34. It's just over 2 hours from our terminal.

 

That's a shame about the pet policy. The only time I ever travel with animals tho is when we're making a relocation to a new town, so it obviously wasn't an issue for me.
You might knock on some doors of smaller local outfits in your area. Might find what ya need that way. And yep, don't really have to worry about extra exercise when you're running flatbed, that's for sure. I get some exercise during dry bulk load, pulling hoses, walking around checking valves, etc., but definitely not as rigorous as flatbed. Pray ya find something soon

 

Well, sort of difficult to say a "usual" run just for me, as our terminal generally spreads the various run to all the different drivers, with the exception of a few guys that have standard runs. Sort of like two guys that leave our terminal, go to Louisville, KY, load a trailer with either plastic pellets or PVC powder, them come back. I've done that run a few times. Also have dry bulk loads to Greenville, SC. I've been to the port in Savannah, GA a couple times. Those are chemical container loads on a chasis trailer rather than our usual tanks. I've run loads of Scotchguard to Grand Rapids, MI, & also done various hazmat chemicals to/from Detroit, MI, Joliet & Fremont, IL. The Fremont loads went to Forest Park, GA. Been to Charleston, SC, & done a lot of local or day runs, both chemical & dry bulk.

Im off thru Saturday for the holiday. Asked for extra time to go see family. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

 

I've not been down around Dothan. However, TWT doesn't have a terminal near there as far as I know. We don't take the tractors home. Basically have to live near one. I'm two hours away from my terminal, but we were looking to move I to the Huntsville/Decatur area when I hired on. I hate house hunting!! Be so glad when this is done! lol

EDIT: Just realized you may have been asking about McElroy, not TWT. Using that quote about TWT in you post may have thrown me. If you are asking about McElroy, I'd think there'd be plenty of runs thru/around the Dothan area.
