    Your not pushed/forced to run illegal. If u chose to that's ur choice, if u screw up the safety department will let u know. I run what needs to be run in order to be on time. Its trucking.

    If I pull a true month out here I take 5 days off, never had anyone complain. Not long after I 1st started my infant son needed surgery and I took extra days, no one even batted an eye at it. They are great about it, like I said no ones ever complained. When I get home I send a message and say when I will be ready to come back out and that's the end of it. I usually get a preplan a day or so before I am ready to leave. They will call to make sure I see it.

    As far as pay goes, I have never broken it down to my weekly average. We know that the week I leave out and come home my checks will not be as good. But the time in between I will make great money. You either turn in your trip envelope at one of our terminals or you Fed Ex it by Friday afternoon. I have only used Fed Ex once. I'll just bank the loads onto the next check. Granted my check isn't as much but its on the next check so its a wash. I make enough that we aren't hurting and going week to week. My wife doesn't work due to my sons health issues and we still live comfortably thanks to WEL.

    E-logs are in use, I don't know the details I'm still on paper. Yes we run all 48, I've hit them all in the last 2yrs.

    Pete's and KW's mainly, a few Internationals and Freightliners mixed in.

    I'm getting ready to go to school. Just trying to figure out all my options. Appreciate the feed back. Talked to a driver in Aberdeen Md at a C&S Warehouse last week, said he thinks they hire out of MD. He said he's getting really good miles. Are you still happy there?

    Yeah I love it here. Only reason I will ever leave is if a great local job becomes available.

    I won't lie and say everything is perfect but the good is far better than the bad. Only time I get irritated is with some of the time frames on my preplans. I'm annoyed for a minute then I see it as a challenge and its all good.

    Of the top of my head I can't recall how per diem works. The recruiters can tell u more.

    I have a KW, u know its the same as a Pete just different badges. U can have an inverter. They will install it for you.
