    #### that’s good ! one day I dropped and hooked 8 times taking empties from our drop lot to a DC that’s 8 miles away, I BT back off course . They paid me $35 per trailer it took almost 6 hrs bc it was during rush hour.

    Here you go Radman, this is what the bid looks like on trip card, yeah alot of extra work, but the overall running conditions are awesome down here, even during winter. Screenshot_20200718-160800_Samsung Internet.jpg

    It’s confusing because Saia time clock runs on hundredths. For example, 9:30am shows as 9:50.

    Yes you are reading that right, I am hitting my 14 basically almost every day right now, the biggest cause of it is my first via through PHX, they just don't have the man power for the amount of freight they have been getting, it wasn't always like this and I have been reassured that things will be back under control in a couple weeks, they all are aware of the problem, we haven't made the gate time in weeks now, I ended my 5 day week yesterday with 57 minutes left on my 70.
     
    jmz, Radman, Lumper Humper and 2 others Thank this.
