I'm on a 5/2-5/3 so I'm usually not low on hours. I was wanting to get on a 6/3 but not sure now. Are you on local dispatch or the roc?

I'll run my loads out and if I'm coming back to a DC with 2-3 hours depending if I'm tired or not I'll put that on my ETA. Usually the roc dispatches me something out so I get where I can and get off the yard with it. I've found that better deal then say putting a eta as 0600 because a lot or at least mine are on local dispatch still so you're really grabbing something out from under someone that's put the same eta and is sleeping on the yard. Higher seniority takes the best run I'm sure. Sounds bad but it is what it is I'm here to make money. Last two weeks I've done 2,400-2,600 on my schedule. Also I never go off duty ever either because now your just cutting your PTO short.

Nobody is supposed to be on local dispatch, kinda defeats the purpose of the roc and the optimizer.

Oh really? I thought that wasn't starting until after the realignment. I know I'm defiantly a "roc" driver.
