No driving yet.


BB had eye surgery on Monday, we went back for a checkup today. Heading the right direction but don't want to push anything until all is OK again.


It is driver appreciation week at both companies. The long haul company is doing once or twice a day calls on various topics. Not sure what as I don't pick up. Local company is giving away stuff. I finally went in today and exchanged my XLT / extra large tall jacket for something that will fit a little better. Work was handing these out over Christmas and I didn't take the time to try it on then. Then I didn't drive for them until after Covid. So six months later. Now I have one that fits. Next I need to work so I can wear it.


Updated DOT rules going into effect. The company we used to work for sent out an update, explanation, on the rules. Nothing from either of the current companies. I asked the local company about the new rules and they have not decided but it sounds like they are leaning to operating under the old rules which were stricter than the new rules.


Monday's load board numbers

US - 175

IA - 45

MN - 9 

WI - 3


Tuesday's load board numbers

US - 177

IA - 33

MN - 8

WI - 2


Over all the load board is up, locally they are all down. Hadn't really looked at the board until tonight when I writing this. I generally don't unless we are going to work. BB seems to spend a lot of time on it regardless.


The local company had one bus for Boston in the lot. They often don't have anything staged so not that unusual.
