    I wish we did. That is one thing I don't like is that we don't really go west at all. I like going out west and they will only hire from within out=r running area.

    do expect you to run when weather is bad. i know loads need to be delivered but if it's safer to shutdown do they old it against you

    What they say is that you are the captain of the ship. If you determine it is unsafe then you shut down and notify them so they can make the customer aware.

    About a week after I started I had a load going from Chicago area to Minneapolis area that loaded at 1800 and had to deliver by 0400. It started snowing pretty good but I was still running it. They actually called me and suggested I stop because another truck in the same area shut down because of the weather. I said no I don't think it is bad enough I will keep going and I did. It is up to you.
