    I hope the same goes for me, starting Monday I do hope to push a bit harder and take home alittle more but we will see. Really would like to take home around 70k per year if I can otherwise I feel like the career change may not have been totally worth it, we will see. Hopefully I get a decent mix of hometime and end of year earnings lol.

    Did a quick turn to Bowling Green. Almost back to the yard and get asked if I'd like a dedicated down to GA. Will be heading out today and back home tomorrow night. Asked the local guy to load it for me, and he obliged. My wife wanted me home to go over her new job offer last night, or I would have stayed on the yard and been gone this morning.

    After this run, I probably won't run again until the new year.

    BTW, my wife got a great offer and is turning in her 30 day notice today.

    I'll second the congrats. I wish my wife didn't have to work, but she enjoys it and the kids are gone. I'll be taking two weeks off over the Xmas and New Year holidays. In an effort to get some miles in before the break I got a sweet load out to Phoenix, AZ. Darn pretty country out this way.

    The ATL ate my lunch, so I won't get back tonight. Too many miles and not enough clock.

    Morrow asked me to run, but I declined. Getting home for the holiday while the kids are off from school is a must. I'll get tank washed back to Wilmington since Morrow doesn't have a load headed that way.

    I'm having fun at home waiting for our son to arrive. He just got back from deployment so we'll be blessed to have him visit with us for a few days. I made sure dispatch knew about those plans so I'll have the time off. Out for my first run of the New Year next Tuesday.

    That's awesome. Thank him for his service from a fellow trucker and retired grunt.
