    Definitely a different company. One of the pictured showed a condo pulling a box. We are 100% Tanker.

    Had a nice ride out to Iowa City and back this week. Weather was great once I got out of NC. Pretty much clear skies and 47-70F temps throughout my trip. This load is cake. Its around 1900 miles round trip and its the first trip on the new pay rate (.40Mt, .47 Loaded). I left Monday and got home Thursday around 13:00. It should have been earlier but the made me sit at the gate for 2 hours before dropping my trailer at Brown Summit. I am off until Sunday morning when I head out for a drop swap dry bulk load to N Chicago and back.

    Hopefully they will run me on another one this week. I am about $1000 behind last year at this point and had a very good 4th quarter in 2012. I don't expect to equal last year with the need for more home time but would still like to top 60K for the year. This dedicated will probably not do that for me If I can't get some double load weeks. I am lovint the home time though.

    Might be better off on the dedicated, I'm not sure how busy it is right now out in the system. I delivered in Calgary, AB earlier this week and wss headed to Markham when I got a message Friday to just head home. No complaints from me, > 2500 miles for the week (mostly empty) and I'll make it to my nephew's birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese tomorrow. Love me some skee ball, but it looks weird to just go in by myself to play. :laughing1:

    I was about to say I'm sorry you have to go to Chuck-E-Cheese but it sounds like you like the place.

    Shaping up to be a decent week. Headed out Sunday mid morning. Made my drop and swap in N Chicago in record time and got home around 6PM Tuesday. Off today and have a Plaquemine La out and back for Thurs, Fri, Saturday. If all goes as planned that should have me off Sunday for the Panther game.

    Nice! Does Bulk have a traditional winter slow time?

    We tend to slow down from right before Thanksgiving through Jan. It depends on the product though.

    I hope it doesn't slow down too much. I start on the 29th. Maybe I picked a bad time to start....

    Got back Saturday and had a beautiful day at the stadium with my wife. This week i did another Plaquemine getting home this afternoon. Leaving for a 3 day weekend at the beach in the morning.

    Loving this home time.

    Awesome! I was home for a whole 18 hours on tuesday. I could have my time for longer, but I'm struggling for miles now. I'll do my best to keep busy and pay off my last two bills. Glad I'm single. I cannot fathom how guys keep relations ships while OTR for weeks at a time
