Thanks for the advice and support everyone. ValleyX, the baby is due in mid January, so I probably will go back to the road for awhile and if the company needs me in the yard, just give me a call. <br /> And, it's all but official, I'll be transfering to Indianapolis in April/May of next year. I was in Indy today and talked to the trainmaster there who said they always need people. I will first have to qualify in the yard, and then take it from there. The place I'll be moving to is about five minutes from Avon Big Four Yard, so the 40 minute commute will disappear. In Danville there are five yard jobs that run all day long, at Avon there are about 15 every eight hours, so there will be a little more work for me. And then there are lots of road runs: Indy to Cincinnati, Indy to Salem, IL, Indy to East St. Louis, Indy to Crestline, OH and Indy to Toledo. These runs pay big time! About 230 miles each way instead of the 130 I run now. Basic trip rate for 130 miles to Chicago pays $160 and I think the 230 mile runs out of Indy pay nearly $300 each way. I'm excited just because there are so many more possibilites [:D] If anyone knows anything about running in, around, or near Indy give me some heads up I'd like to hear what you have to say!!!!
