    ####. i'm also somewhat close to your neck of the woods. if i drive 11hrs straight, hit no traffic along the way, and the weather is fine enough to drive a super quick speed of 66mph, i should be within range of your terminal's area. however, i'm currently between loads right now. sitting until they find me something else.

    you're going to suddenly find out that it actually goes 800 miles and has 6 stops, with more than 5 days to make it to the consignee. :biggrin_2559:

    THIS IS THE LAST WEEK THAT I WILL RUN 100% LEGAL!
    Since I was of for 4 days (10/1 -10/4), my week actually sarted on Monday, Oct. 5th.
    2111 actual miles driven
    65 hrs on duty
    $717.74 earned
    or $9.26 /hour (assuming time and 1/2 over 40 hrs)
    Hardly worthy of a "professional", wouldnt you agree?
    Now that I have decided to go back to the Dark Side (Hey, where are MY COOKIES?) I will post my data on the new thread I started (Running 99% legal). I prrdict some better results, assuming my load planners and my customers dont get in the way and muck things up for me.

    Tom Long does not give a hoot about the drivers and sees fit to tell us over the qualcom how many drivers he fires on a daily basis for speeding 1 mile over the speed limit and for not wearing He does not their seat belt. When I talked to him about my air conditioner not working in 108 degree weather and was having symptoms of heat stroke and heat exhaustion, he did care. He only cares about those CSA2010 INSPECTIONS and could care less about the driver's need for sleep and health. Supposedly, he is corporate safety.
