Started on Friday first trip from Lumber Bridge Nc to San Diego Ca. Went well. Got to Cali and had to sit for 2 days waiting on a load back east. Finally got one couple hours ago. Two pick ups in Cali followed by 5 in Yuma Az then off to Norlfolk Va. I love the driving aspect just hate the waiting.

Get use to the waiting. You will be doing it the rest of your driving career. Its either waiting in traffic...to get unloaded/loaded.....in line for fuel.....for a shower...to go home....

There is tons of waiting to do. Now if we could just come up with a way to haul "waiting" we could all get rich since there is so much "waiting around". Lol
