Probably the worst week I've had since going solo miles wise, only drove a little over 1000 miles this week and now I'm at our OC in Carlisle, PA for maintenance on my truck but they can't get me into the shop until late tomorrow night. Going to be a terrible paycheck. shocked.pngrofl-1.gif

Well, at least you have that new tractor to mitigate your sorrows! 🤒

I know how you feel. Been a terrible week for me too.. Wife works in nursing home and got sick with a stomach virus and it spread to me and our kids, we all had it at the same time. And to make matters worse, our home is in the middle of a bathroom remodel. I could not kick the bug that got me until too late in the week to get a run.. so zero miles this week. The only good thing is that we don't live paycheck to paycheck. I'll run hard the next few weeks to make up for it. Like I told the family when I started driving, some weeks will be good and some might be skinny.

That's terrible, hopefully you guys feel better soon! And zero miles is much worse. Lucky my wife and I don't live paycheck to paycheck either, so it won't hit us hard either.

That's true! I don't even have to be setup in a hotel, just stating in my truck until tomorrow! rofl-3.gif

The only bad part is, I'm parked behind the shop(the shop told me to park here) so the bathroom is a pretty good walk away...

Well, the shop told you that so they'd know where to find it. If they're not gong to get to it tomorrow you could park out front tonight. Unless you think they might get to it tonight, but in that case you won't have a place to stay.
