Starting with LTI Trucking Services, St. Louis MO

62 on the pedal. 65 on cruise. I'm home every other weekend, and occasionally I'll drop by during the week if I get a load going through KC. Qualcomm Elogs. I think the regional guys get home more often, but they have shorter runs.

 

2800 plus miles this week, plus some detention. Not too bad considering one day I only did 200 miles. Delivered early in San Antonio today and have some free time to watch basketball before my load tomorrow afternoon.

 

Especially when I can actually get the TV channel I need. I ended up buying an amplified digital antenna. It gives me a lot more range than the lousy one that comes in the Cascadia. As long as I'm less than 60 miles from a big city I usually get decent channels.

 

Took home 1200 after taxes for last week. Ran pretty hard this week too. Was home last Saturday evening through Monday morning (wasn't requested home time but I wasn't going to turn it down), then ran hard m-f this week and now home for the weekend. Still no issues so far, other than dealing with CH Robinson on occasion and their ridiculous pickup and delivery times. Should I really have to explain to them that a 1400 pickup, 400 mile trip with deliveries at 0400 and then 120 miles to another delivery at 0800 is not possible (legally)?

 

Nope. Been doing local work for a while.
