    Still running steady, they are keeping drivers busy with broker loads more so than customer freight here lately. Me personally, I'm still getting about 2500 miles per week. OP, message me if you're interested

    Ok so I started to ask you about location, but can you tell me why you're promoting Swift at the crack of dawn this morning, and now you're looking to move? You gave you're driver number and everything to a prospective driver. Now you're belly aching about your money. We all have short weeks sometimes, it's the nature if the beast. Second, looking at your postings, are looking for lease purchase? Tell us the real story so maybe you can be advised right.....not these mood swing posts.

    I'm still working my dispatcher was mad last week because I'm not running enough miles. The guy running the company say they had 30 % drop in freight and layed off like 50 drives about 3 weeks ago. So kinda crazy dispatch telling me I'm not driving enough miles. Must be because I have guaranteed minimum pay.

    Still going strong. Miles have gone up some actually with the extra DH. Normally 2500+ but sometimes 3000.

    Left the house 3/30. Got home 4/28. 4 weeks to the day. Ran 16,400 miles in exactly 4 weeks. Will be leaving out Wednesday after 7 days home. Fully expecting to run the same miles, wash, rinse, repeat.

    I saw 2 flatbeds at my local Lowe’s this morning, hauling essential cinder blocks and plywood of course.

    I move from the couch to my Office chair, occasionally go to the store, cut the grass yesterday, might move around more tomorrow, got to ease into it. Slowly making steady progress.
