Less than 10% of their loads require tarping and they have long runs. The longest runs I have had so far.

 

Speaking of guys not seen for awhile, I was talking to a driver last week who told a doozy that good ole Heavy would have been proud of! He said he was getting 14 mpg back in the early 2000s in an N14!

 

Your posts are overwhelming, like trying to pick donuts. I can just see someone in over their head,,"hmm, nothing yet",,,

 

Nope, no TTR burnout. The day I get burned out here I'll be gone. No animosity either. Just some honest curiosity.
I haven't seen everything on TTR but I read a lot of posts and I've seen a lot. Every once in awhile I get surprised.
Most people work their way up to an LTL job or a tanker job. Some guys pay a lot of dues to get there, too. For an absolute rookie right out of school to get an LTL job with no real driving experience and then decide they don't like it and go get a tanker job would have been almost unheard of five years ago. It goes to show how much the industry has changed and the direction it's taken.
Now he wants to give up his tanker job and go live in a truck. Most people would have been glad for the chances they were given and show some appreciation. I think this might be a case of someone finally winding up where he belongs and finding whatever it is he's really looking for.
I hope things work out for him.
Some drivers haven't had enough bad jobs to appreciate a good one. I think that's about to change.

 

Good ole X1. I know some guys kinda were annoyed with him and his tall tales but not me. The bigger the yarn the more I was into it man. My favorite was, and I don’t remember it verbatim and I’ll never be able to find the post, was I guess he was driving flatbed and delivering to like a football field or a field they were gonna work the ground on or something, I don’t know. Anyway he got there and the dudes runnin the show didn’t have equipment there to unload him, but a severe winter storm was nigh. So he unstrapped and untarped, started grabbing gears through the parking lot, came booming out onto the field, cut the wheel yanked down on the Johnny bar and the stuff slid off right where they wanted it. I mean come on. That’s just good stuff lol. I feel sorry for these younger cats comin on TTR. They’ll never know what it’s like to ask a simple “yes/no” question and get a 14 paragraph parable.

 

The OP mentioned two of the dreaded “D” words:

Debt and Divorce

Those two would make me consider living in a truck too.
