    Got home around noon yesterday, leaving out Thursday AM. My company bends over backwards to get drivers home for holidays. I'm grateful for it because I've missed x-mas in the past working for a company that didn't care.

    Your friend should start looking for another company.So whenever drivers get hometime they have to leave trk at terminal and find their own transportation home?That would suck and get costly to take bus home for hometime then bus back to terminal especially working for a starter company.

    Our company is heavily involved in the RV industry, most of those factories close for 2 weeks at this time. We were busy up til the shutdown, matter of fact, the factory is running production these days, just nothing is shipping.
    My understanding is that on 1/2/14, it's going to be all out, lots of new customers, lots of orders for the old customers.

    Great time to be in the RV industry!

    The first bunch to be shipped after the first of the year is to the Tampa FL show. Got my name on the list. Be the first time down there since 2008.

    We have had a busy year and not much of a slow down.

    My customers are all saying the Louisville show a few weeks ago was fantastic. Looks to be another great year!

    They say the Elkhart show was the biggest yet. There have been some big orders since then.

    I have not been in the office since the Louisville show to hear the results. That definately looks positive.

    I'm running, my choice though. My family has our thanksgiving/Christmas party at the same time so I got to go to that. If I went home for Christmas it would just be me there so I'm running. Plus I get a pretty good bonus for staying out
