System adventures with the ducky

Same thing happens to me. I guess the Atlanta area needs a lot of chemicals. I don't like spending a whole day just to unload and that's it. But I usually go back out the next day, so can't complain too much.

 

This is my 5th week out, I did not plan on doing it like this but it just played out that way. I did this exact same thing last year at this time, set out and stayed running for a total of 8 weeks. The difference is really where you live. I live at the end of the road up in Maine whereas you live in Atlanta a major crossroads for the South East. Not as much goes that far north as there is moving through the South East region.
I like to stay running the I-90 corridor between Boston and Chicago, I could do that a month at a time without really needing to go home.

 

The generic policy of sending "system drivers" back towards there home terminal, confuses me... can anyone clarify it's purpose?

 

Home time is important, don't get me wrong... and if it's sit (

 

I've been out 3 weeks now, but it technically doesn't count because I have been sent to my home terminal twice in that time. I don't go home if they have a run for me the next day since I live a good distance from the terminal.

I'm on my way out west now, which is rare but always welcome. Hopefully I can stay out a while longer. I want to save my pennies for a long nose Peterbuilt. Or I can get a house and a Prostar.

I have not been driving long, so I'm all about running hard now so I can take it easy later on.

 

True...

 

I've picked up at Hopewell Va in the past. But it went to Iowa city, and it belonged to the Baltimore terminal.
