Whew! What a month!

Once again, I promised that I would keep up on this better, and once again I have failed in that simplest of tasks.

Anyway, it's been a rather eventful month. A few weeks ago, my codriver and I got a message on the Qualcomm practically begging us to come drive for Schneider's Ford dedicated account in Denver. It promised a salary (no more mileage pay) and more home time... well... it would have been more home time if I lived in Denver. Which I don't. Well, that's ok because I at least get to go home for the weekends. But...

I really don't mean to rant and rave and make Schneider look bad, because there was no lying involved. They didn't misrepresent the situation. It's more of a distorted look at the realities of living 60 miles from work that got me. Hell, I even thought that I could live with just the weekends. It certainly seems logical. The problem is that I just barely have enough time to start relaxing before I have to get up and drive back out to Denver to start the whole thing over again.

It's like living OTR with none of the benefits. At least over the road, my time at home would be at least 3 or 4 days. That means that I don't have to rush around as much during my time off. I also liked having more options as to how to run the loads. The set schedule going around the same route over and over and over again got old a lot quicker than I thought it would.

Anyway, my codriver is not enjoying it much either, so we're in the process of going back to 48 state system. More money + less hassle = happier drivers.

Oh, and our Coleman cooler died. The 12v plug melted. RIP, Coleman.
