Been with them for over a year now and I am happy with them. They are not perfect, but I grossed over 75k in 2025 with 12 weeks of off time which suits me just fine.

I.love that schedule , wish more did that. Glad it's going well !Do you get long hauls there or is it short stuff..and its guaranteed pay 1700 a week? Hows the equipment?

I did few 72hrs fasts in the fall, but not dry, can't imagine doing it without water
D.Tibbitt Thanks this. -
No roller dogs??? Man, that's just wrong.
Cdemars316, D.Tibbitt, Sons Hero and 2 others Thank this. -
My truck is good, whenever a repair is needed they take care of it quick. Last time I checked the other day, their out of service rate was at 18%. The hauls are usually short, rarely takes more than a single day. Though I did have a load from st Louis to somewhere in Pennsylvania that was 1100 miles recently.smokey12 Thanks this.

I have in fact eaten a few of those roller dogs, the all beef ones of course. Meat is really hard to mess up no matter what

Have been a big fan of fasting. I do drink liquids though. Coffee in the morning and water mostly the rest of the day. 5 days is my record. Normally fast for 3 days though a couple times a month. I’m still fat though.
-
never fasted but always carried sardines/herring on the road. It’s a quick satisfying meal replacementLonwolv54, A Bug and Trucker61016 Thank this.

Five days is incredible, as long as you are not taking in any sugar with that coffee and drinks then it is fine I am sure. Weight loss is just a secondary goal with fasting. You are still getting the great benefits of everything else, autophagy and ketones mainly.
