    That's right, staying out at least 3 weeks to months at a time helps.

    Glad things are working out for you.I know on DG you have to hustle but you can do well as long as the DC loads the trailer right.I had a few loads where they tailgated the stuff for the last store.That really sucks.:biggrin_25510:

    Just curious, but what do you mean by 'decent paycheck'?

    And how many miles do you run to achieve it?

    Well I resigned from Werner. Yet I still have no complaints. I enjoyed what I did and liked my Fm and coworkers. Why did I resign ? I've been offered employment with what I perceive to be a better Job for me.

    Good luck on your new job. You lasted 4 weeks longer than I did at Werner, but if something better comes along sometimes you got to take it. I also have no complaints about Werner, I just had the chance to leave so I did.
