    Don't want to hijack thread, but I HATE d&h! Yeah, if everything goes like it should, you spend less time on line 4, but it is not unusual at all to spend an hour doing a d&h, and then end up with a bad trailer needing time in a shop.

    I'd rather open the doors, back into the dock, and let the receiver do their thing. Keep the trailer that was OK when I hooked up to it, or especially keep the trailer that I spent some hours with in the shop.

    YMMV.

    or...this

    Drop , find the only empty on the entire customer lot, hook to it, then be told by the rent a guard that if you take that , they'll call the sheriff. and then actually follow thru with it. Then have the sheriff tell you either unhook or go to jail, from hooking to a trailer with your compnay name on it.

    Less To Love

    Sorry, could not resist. :)

    Personally, I would go nuts driving the same route every day (I know, I ran dedicated for 6 months, and that was way too much for me.)

    I know the money is good, and a lot of drivers love it, but it is not for everyone. Hey, "different strokes", right?
