Thought it would be a great idea to just post where you are on any given day or if layed over for a weekend.

We could be 10 miles apart for a weekend and never even know.

Not too shabby for a solo.

By this time next month should be running as a team with daughter then really going to make the money :D

She wants to do it on her own eventually but wants to ride with dad for maybe a year. Told her I would give her 25% but I cover all bills. Will be a test for both her a Dad lol

Droped about 50 miles west of Toledo...18 below! Got some sleep, moved to Franklin, Ky.. 14 above! Heat wave....8 Sprinters in Toledo, 2 CV and 3 ST... Moved blindly to Beverdam, 3 Sprinters there, kelpt moving blindly... 3 Sprinters here as well. So due to not having anything to tell me where to go- I drove 445 miles trying to find the "right spot, right time"

Harkharkhahahehe ---ch*t

Dude, NEVER move that far blindly. IF I decide to move I call, and that is a big if. Personally on a friday I would have headed home but I see your from TN. and now you are so close you might as well finish the trip and sleep in a warm bed at home for the weekend.

Being 50 miles west of Toledo I would have headed either towards Ft. Wayne, Marshall, Lansing, or the office.The Petro at exit 157 on I-69 is pretty centrally located also. Would have been much better then 445 miles on your own.

don`t expect to many miles as a team.I`m driving a sprinter as a team and we don`t get many miles.we are new to this business and maybe this is the problem for the low mileage.. we have a lot to learn....but we call every time we want to move or ask were to wait for the next load.
currently we are close to jacksonville,Fl waiting for the magic call :)
good luck to all of u!!!!

Crisgo, glad to have you posting.

However, from everything I have ever read or heard, get out of florida. Get to atleast Atlanta or in to South Caralina. I have never been into florida but hear nothing comes out.

they gave us 200 bucks to get out of Tampa and DID NOT ask for it...it was in the offer to go down!!

Me and Steady both got 700 mile loads yesterday...MLK day is not a factor....only if you do government loads...

KC to Wayne Mi.....just woke up looking for a hole in the net!!*L*
