    My condolences to the poor drivers(victims)of the SoCal buyout by transport america.Now you will see ta's driver hostile business model.Beware!Soon 300 miles will be a long run for you.It won't be unusual to deliver at 07:00 and then sit the rest of the day to make a 23:30 pickup 8 miles away.Seems it makes more sense to waste an entire day sitting around than to deadhead 80-100 miles and keep moving.ta is quite proud of this policy because they keep deadhead pay to a minimum.but you've just lost a whole day's running.
