Sitting here in Bellefontaine waiting for a Call with an Offer and just recalled I woke myself up during the night!
A nightmare of sorts as I was yelling Maggie's name or trying to (that sound from me is what woke me up...my own muffled cries of her name, seeing her leaving me) Someone had taken her and they were running away with her! Jeez!!
Man, I remember waking up and looking at her, head lifted looking back at me!! Don't need that again!

No, they advised I head west, which they don't pay for. Not to incur Blizzard's wrath, but, I have found our dispatch concentrates on their core business first and once out of their area you are mostly on your own to find a way back. Just my experience
I just thought I'd throw that out there....because people tell me the same thing all the time when I DH outta Joisey no matter what carrier Ive been with!! Good luck ....

It's all good. In the future when I go (to my new) home I will leave Sunday and head to Charlotte area. Small investment in fuel usually results in a good income once there.

Is Siggi with you or working part or full time back at home?

I am going to stay out for 2 weeks alone then start team driving with her. She is buying furniture to replace what we lost in the fire. Insurance co gave us a check to buy "beer" and she is shopping for champagne!! If I didn't hit the road I would have ended up a guest of the state for 25 years.

KC are hard runners, from what I hear. They have absolutely no tolerance for mistakes. Anything under .38/mi you're wasting your time, IMO.

Do you know what kind of company you're looking for? What kind of miles you want? How often you want to be home? Do you mind a camera pointing at you? Do you mind sleep apnea testing, or hair folicle testing? Do you want your hand held, or more independent? What kind of gimmicks do you want in the truck? Do you need a rider/pet policy? Flat, van, reefer?

Like I said, better start doing your homework, as when crunch time comes, and you have to pick your company mosh kosh, drivers tend to go with the recruiter who gave them the last Broadway performance. Be smarter than them, and get it right the first time. Research.
I'd like to be home most weekends so I think regional would be best for that based on what I've read. Camera I'm actually ok with for the most part because as long as I'm doing what I'm suppose to be doing it shouldn't make a difference. Sleep apnea I'll test and wear the machine if they want and I'm drug and have been for years lol. The holding my hand at first wouldn't be bad but once I got it I think I'd prefer independence. I wanna truck with an APU or EPU frig space for a tv inverter so I guess all gimmicks. No pets and I'm open to dry or reefer. I'd do flat bed if I didn't have to trap stupid tall loads cause I'm not the biggest fan of heights
