If you willing pull the load from the load board, anything over 100 miles is on you. If they offer it over the c link they pay the deadhead + miles. I think we've only ever pulled from the load board once. Otherwise they just come over the c link. Delivery in Indiana went well. Picked up a load...

Don't really care for cold weather. Just couldn't stand to sit any longer. Wanted to get some good runs in right away to make up for the weekend. There may still be hope. Weather was super nice in Texas but the area we were in was super rural and dead looking. Made for very boring drives and not...

Headed for Indiana. Goodbye Texas!

Yes. Detention pay. That's it. I'm gonna convince myself that I needed the time off to relax. Lol that way in my mind I came out on top. Been awhile since I've played grand theft auto. So that's how I'm killing time.

Quick update. Should have just went home for thanksgiving. Didn't get a load on thanksgiving itself, got a small one for the following Friday. Picked up at 8am. Delivery is 160ish miles away in the middle of nowhere. We get 30 miles away from delivers and get a message over the clink. "Just...

Thank you everyone. No loads today. We accepted one for tomorrow at 8am 200 miles away so we're gonna move closer. Happy thanksgiving everyone!

It is indeed my birthday. Thank you!

36 off? Sorry, no idea what that is. As for time zones. Everything is on eastern time. If we deliver at 8am, it's 8am eastern time, doesn't matter if local time is 9, or whatever. Do you mean your 36 hour reset for the 70hr week? We haven't maxed out 70hrs yet, and we shouldn't. Each person...

All of our equipment (straps, bars, extra oil, coolant, funnel, etc.) has been provided by expeditors. They direct us to a t/a anytime we need something. In the future I want to grab a few more straps and a pallet jack. FedEx said if I pick up a pallet jack to call them and they will pay for it...

Going to school is prolly the best option for her. The stress at first can leave a sour taste in your mouth. The stress died down for me a lot after our first time out. Still nervous for winter but we'll get through it. We got just got our class b's. I thought the same way you did and wanted...

If by holding hands and back rubs you mean, harassing sexually, liking her face, grabbing the back of her head when she bends down to grab something and thrusting my man package into it, then yes very lucky and enjoyful. Lol, I suppose I could try to lay down the romance in the future. She knew...

Negative. We're regarding to Rockford area. Never hit i94. I've seen about 4 other FedEx expeditors on this trip. Was driving next to one for a few. Normally I don't ever see any but maybe one heading the opposite direction. And what looks like the same xpologistocs? Guy. Lol. We accepted...

Heading to Illinois!

Our truck is a 2015? Cascadia. 250ish on the clock. Maybe go to a local Penske or enterprise and look at their trucks. Should be damn close as long as they have air brakes

Did you start out as an owner operator? If not what made you go that route? Owning our own truck sounds good, but I just can't put it together I guess. Right now it seems like we have it good. Face value we make a lot less than we could, but we literally don't pay for anything. Even out $1.75...

No worries, only got two load offers so far and neither were great. One to D.C. and one to laredo tx. Dont think I would have been able to get a load out of either so no go on those. I found this link online that is pretty accurate for a pretrip...

Awesome... lol

The auto industry was Very Anal about that, they must have a dedicated obsessive compulsive on staff just for that purpose. Sent from my SM-N910V using EO Forums mobile app Lol weird coincidence that our load is automotive related. I don't mind snow covered roads that are flat. Grew up in...

If we end up sitting over the weekend I'll write up some pretrip stuff. Not sure I have the binder with me but it's all still pretty fresh. ..I think.

To do that on a bike is intense. I tip my hat to you sir. I'm sure dealing with weather gets easier with experience. It's just getting that experience that doesn't vibe well with me at the moment. Lmao. Sucks that you lost your profit in the process of running. The closest thing we've gotten to...
