    Normally I have few complaints but this kind of planning frustrates me. It just makes no sense.

    Sometime planning don't work out right. I just got a load to pickup tomorrow night 12/11 1830 and deliver 1174 miles away on 12/13 0830. Anyone got a extra piss bottle?

    Consistency is something else that is lacking here. It is either feast or famine miles wise. You can never know week to week what to expect. I'm not sure if it is because of lack of freight or due to lack of planning ahead by Omaha. Unfortunately, I'd say it was the later of the two. And, another thing bothers me is that when you do make a reference regarding your miles or lack thereof they base it all on averages. I don't care how many miles I did last month all I worry about is what I am doing now and what I will be getting paid for next.

    I feel more on the lack of planning. Some weeks we have too much freight next not enough. Seems like they can't get that happy medium. They do work that average out a lot. So don't know if they are just are just trying to get everyone's average the same or not.

    Now bear in mind, this is third hand information, I heard several drivers have left FRE and went to work for Houg, because thats where Ruby Wilson is...Don't know if its true or not, just passing it along

    Wow!

    Could you imagine unloading furniture at every stop! That would be like moving every day. Hope you have a strong back for all of those sleeper sofas you'll be unloading! :)
