TF, I haven't seen you for a while and (can I say it?) just may have been a bit worried with all of the flooding out your way. I was stunned when I saw news reports from Cedar Rapids, CRST coolie central, my alma mater.

I hope that you and the family are well. There are some posters floundering on some other threads that need you desperately. :lol:

Regards.

I was on vacation last week...spent some time up in SW Michigan...got kicked out when we were blamed for bringing the bad weather up there with us. Now THAT was a storm. :shock: I can't cut a break from bad weather.

We're fine, though. Our house is on high ground...but Cedar Rapids and Iowa City got hammered overall. I've got some pretty wild pictures of the damage here in IC. I've never seen anything like it...very sad. But Iowan's are resilient. Most have their houses gutted already and are waiting for the OK to rebuild. Government moves slowly, no matter where you are.

Week#3

Mountain Home, Ar- Hope Mills, NC

paid 886 ( balance of 1274 HHG miles on trip Winfield, Ks-Hope Mills, NC)

next load is am

Reaford, NC- Carlisle, Pa

DH- 22 LM- 440

del Wednesday 6am

running total for week- 1348 w/ 3 days until next Saturday morning Cartoons.--- Fleet Manager has me down for $75.00 Heartland Cares Money so I'm betting he'll try hard to get me over the 2800 mile mark-- hay, that's A.O.K. with me. I'm neutral in my desire to be home next weekend-- really need to turn some miles & expire 70 hours before hitting the house-- what point is it -- to be home with no money n hand-- especially when I found all the mechanic shops closed on Saturday-- need to get my Bronco into a shop and have a compression "leak down" test ran on it--- and make the decision to rebuild or not.

hey, d.J.-- if you can't pm me-- that will kinda make the communication one way!.....

maybe you need to ask your questions...here.. in the light of Open and honest board.... and I can either respond to your questions here -- openly or if you prefer-- I can p.m. you my answers

as far as doing well here at Heartland.... it's real early( week#3)-- but so far it's looking O.K.--- got the first direct deposit-- and the accounting was right.

Not much I can really report.... being this new and all.

yes Cyanide-- I've been keeping my eyes open here too-- but the Print in that trucker rag was so much bigger and nicer than your posts-- eye catching. Don't worry, If I did actually consider that-- getting my hazmat again 1.5 years from now-- I won't forget to mention Truck#3110 on the first phone call...bud...

No need for all that. :wink: Hopefully Heartland works out for you and ya don't have to switch companies again though.

no.. really ... I insist... I'll tell them we're old friends-- that you trained me to drive and everything... that way...... naaa just kidding.

Yeah, I hope this works out too--

Roy turned in his truck today-- now there's only 3 out of 4 of us from that Orientation.
