    I kinda like my 4am-4pm Tuesday-Friday route. I am pretty high on the seniority board though. It is what you make of it I would rather work 4-4 than 10-8 but that's just me. When the time comes (which it will) and I decided to go to ltl I will miss the 4day work week and the actual daytime hrs.

    That sounds like a sweet gig. 4am start is "daytime" in my mind and if you can get outta town before rush it's the best of both worlds. Probably hit traffic at the end tho.

    Just got offered a line haul run debating on it.

    Load my set myself: fort myers to Orlando to Ocala and straight back down i75 to fort myers.

    just a little nervous cuz Orlando is a cluster fudge; trucks can’t drive on landstar road which is annoying

    Just learn the routes ahead of time and just follow them. I once got lost in downtown Billings pulling triples. Wow was that a bad time.

    It is scary to start something new or go somewhere else for the first time. I got the jitters right now jumping ship after being with Holland for 5 years.

    We'll both be fine at the end.
