    Does that mean you're going to give Barney a little more credit for doing short stuff all the time? lol.

    Ah its all good. Take the good with the, lets say not so good. The pay is great with all the splits and short hauls im making as much if not more then if i was long but i enjoy loading drive for a few days empty and reload and repeat. That is what I have gotten accustomed too.

    Home heading up to NH via CT and MA with a 5 stop steel load...Tired of running like this Monday did a 5 stopper up to Rochester via Syracuse finished @ 3 reloaded @ 5pm and Had to be back in Hauppague LI 8am the next morning! Unload Early Tues Dh to NJ P/u a load heading to Philly outta Paterson, Finish in Philly @ 2 NJ DH to Burlington NJ p/u a lumber load heading to Bloomfield CT @ 8am Weds morning got there slept @ the Pilot in Milford CT for a few hours around 1 got orders to DH to Burlington again now under this steel load gotta be in Southington CT @ 4am then 3 stops in MA and last stop in Belmont NH. I'm f**king tired of running like an dog told my boss today if he doesn't get me over to LS or Mercer by the month's end He can take his truck and shove it and I quit! (Right now I run for a guy who pretty much *dispatches about 10 owner operators plus 2 of his own trucks and then takes a percentage off the top) Told my boss he can make more and then some via another company and I can run legal! Im off to take a shower now and get some rest before back on the road again!
