    take what a recruiter says as an exception. they will always tell you the great side of this job. the 6 weeks he quoted is if nothing goes wrong. breakdown and layover is part of trucking and cant be foreseen. marky has a good possitive attitude and that goes along way with this job. we all wish it was roses out here lol. keep up the good work marky. it'll pay off at the end
