Howdy Thinking back on things, we always seemed more comfortable on the road. We really treated and thought of Expediting as our Lifestyle, and home-time was what we had to do once in awhile to take care of personal thingys. In our case we didn't have our own home to come back to, or kids, or...

Howdy Been a long time since we had to deal with the dreaded dispatchers and home-time. We would stay out 2 to 4 months at a time (Maybe a layover at the house if close by, but still in service) No way of ticking us off more than the call 2 days after getting home and telling us we just...

Sounds to me like you need to buy a new truck.
