Ugh. Still here.. had to check the Fleetvision to make sure I was actually showing in service LOL...

Bedtime, hopefully get a nice long run in the morn. I'm thinking the truck owner is questioning his decision to let me spend some time in this thing LOL. I think he's used to drivers based out of MI.. even tho 3 of my loads have been from this area... and the load that dry ran from here would have been a nice paying load.

If your LL and LA time reset, does that bump you back down in priority? Even tho I'm the only one in the area? Seems like when I hit about 36 hrs is the magic number here.

Dispatch knows your LA/LL time even when it gets wiped off Fleetvison...So it is still adding up...

As for the ownr questioning you in the truck because of being in Ohio, I wouldn't think its a issue....

The silence is broken....lol...Cuz, while at Polly, you drove a straight truck.From what I have seen, straight truck freight is more plentiful than Van freight.Vans have to "Chase" freight more, as I have learned.This has been pointed out to you before you bought you're van.And, The former employer has alot cheaper rates than we do.Best thing to do when you go home, is to automatically plan to go to the Blacksburg, va area for a load out.Sorry it is tough right now for you, but I am sure, with you're determination, it will, as always, work out.Cut you're costs as much as possible.pray.give it time.It will all work out for the best.
