    I thought about going up to North East like CT, RI or ME - $1500 - 2000...but it would put me there on Friday and I gotta get home for more than a day...

    Ehhh...just like everybody else these days, I guess. Just open the load board and take your pick.

    Still very far from your unparalleled skills on hitting home every day and enjoying culinary gifts of a wife.;)

    I wish these current days never end. However, 1.30 is inevitable and will come back and it is not up to me.
    So now, I figure, I'll try to amass whatever I can, so that when the 1.30 will come back I can slack off a little longer.

    That's how it's done, son. Having enough $$$ at the end of the year and paying forward for line items like insurance, maintenance, etc into the new year is so great.

    Not to mention, being able to take time off.

    That won't fly where I'm leased at. It may or may not pass the muster on an audit. The company would say I should have known that was a possibility and stopped to park for my break before I ever got to the receiver because of it. They don't play fast and loose with PC because it will get abused and it's the first place auditors or LEO look for easy pickings to cite you.
