    It’s not the best thing going but it’s far from the worst. When I was pulling pneumatic it was hammer down all the time because he had just enough trailers to cover what needed done. So my week off usually turned into about 5 days because I’d always need to run and load calcium because our customer was low. But here I don’t hear a thing. I do the exact same thing every time I’m home. The day before I want to leave I just email “How’s it looking for tomorrow?” Never once have they contacted me when I’m home and wanted me to leave earlier than planned.

    So in summary. The op can fish cl to find some shady company's ad to fit his narrative. But multiple people, including myself, can show the facts of it being squarely located in Central Point, Fantasyland.

    That said. If you can get 4-5+/mile. You should. But don't let Debbie Downer's brother tell you your doomed. If you're successful at a lower rate.

    You all have shown nothing.

    Post 90% pay carriers to lease on with no deductions and everythings included.

    It should be no issue to find countless of these jobs being it's fantasy land to have otherwise.

    Giving up a larger percentage vs paying for little things. The carrier is going to get their money regardless.
