Any chance of getting it set so you have your car at home, take the truck there for hometime?

Yes I will be able to take the truck home in the future when I’m ready to make that change.

6/29/22 - Month 2 Solo Status Update
I’m two weeks completed now of my second month solo, so thought I’d post a summary update.
For Week2 I just finished this morning a 7 days run of a Hazmat load from New Jersey to California. 3,294 odometer miles.
My next load out of here is another long haul for 2,025 paid miles to Cashton, WI from 6/30-7/4.
My FM must be trusting me with these long haul solo runs now. I like them. I’ll make a separate post in General Discussion about my last one as some issues popped up that I’d like feedback on.
HAZMAT:
Hazardous Materials
Explosive, flammable, poisonous or otherwise potentially dangerous cargo. Large amounts of especially hazardous cargo are required to be placarded under HAZMAT regulations
Fm:
Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager
The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
