    Well I've been rolling team for the last week with the guy who mentored me last spring. In the last 7 days we've put up about 6700 miles. We are out of hours now, just waiting til this consignee opens up tonight so we can leave to go take our showers and laundry etc. Freight has been good for us because we are teaming-- about 1000 miles a day or so. Fresno-Louisiana (tcalled in ElPaso), El Paso to Chicago, Chicago to Suffolk VA, Richmond VA to Miami FL, Miami to Macon GA, Dalton GA to San Antonio TX now. About 3 days into it, I managed to find a locking bathroom at a shipper and took a bird bath and shave lol, I just can't go a week between showers like my partner. Our life is all about Drive, Fuel, Eat, Sleep, Drive.

    You just made it through the "slow" spots without stopping and thus not getting slowed down. When I got to Muskogee my qualcomm was beeping left and right for loads while I was sleeping and didn't see a couple in time.

    I am in Texas and they have been throwing a bunch of loads at me. All under 300 mi. I hope they don't expect to keep doing that. Can't make any money doing that. Most are live on both ends.
