    Dont know about west but worked for heartland in the northeast reg sometimes you will get lucky with weekend but most times its just a 34hr having to leave out early sunday or some crap, made .48 a mile but never got any miles to make much coulda made more in a factory and been home every night, no inventers allowed in there trucks and last i knew there new prostars were set to idle inbetween certain temps so ethier in the summer your hot or the winter your cold is what you can expect.
