    We are a team and we run pretty much everywhere. A lot of I-80 and I-10 and I-95. We do a lot of FedEx and Amazon loads. As far as home time, we go "home" about once a month and we have never missed a day off. Home time for us is about 50% someplace other than home.

    Flood,,that is one thing I don't like about USX... SNI gave us 5 days for a month out and teams got 6 for the same. USX says 2 days for two weeks and no more than 4 days given at one time..LOL ok,,well we shall see how many days I take off when I go home... I go home for drill and no one but the goobermant can dictate how many days my job can give me for military duty...


    By the way Flood,,,here are those pics..

    Roger that Flood,,,do you two do good as a team?...I swear we have had this convo before...LOL

    What do you think of my van?

    One thing I really like about USX is that I can take my wife out on the road with me right away,,she will get more of a feel for it while with me and will feel better for it when she starts school...
