We have one solo driver who lives out there not far east of phoenix. We swapped trailers with him one time at his parking area. An I've seen other solo's out there when we were out there before as well. It's definitely easy running getting longer runs of that nature.

 

haha ok good. I didn’t peg you for a traitor so I’m glad I was right. Next time you’re in Union and you want a break from Mexican you should check out China King. It’s really good and it’ll test your fridge capacity in the Volvo. You get ALOT.

 

Yea but that's the point. They don't make those runs a priority for teams. It's all luck of the draw as to where drivers are at in relation to freight needs an hours available. For example, say you're in the union area 16 miles from smith foods an they've got a phoenix load that has to be out there in 3 or 4 days an you have the hours an ability to fo it. They're not gonna hold that load for 2 days just to get a team routed thru to get it an run it just in time. They're gonna give it to you the solo driver cuz you're in the right place at the right time. So for Justin to say they keep those for teams is complete BS!! Planners an dispatchers have a list of stuff to cover every day an it gets assigned by drivers location an hours of availability or ability to accomplish the mission. That's how I've always been planned here in the 5 1/2 years I've been here solo or team.

 

Bro, I been here 5 1/2 yrs. Not saying i wouldn't ever make a change but this place ranks in the top 5 out of the jobs I've had in the last 30 yrs. Honestly if i left i'd feel like i had abandoned my family. The other drivers that I've met here an talk to especially on here truly feel like brothers to me.

 

We ordered china king one time when we were at the yard. Man ya sure ain't lying. We had leftovers for a few days.
