    Your only about 75% free fro. Being a company driver. Your still required to follow sni policy's. Can b fired on a dime. To b truly free get your own truck trailer and athurity.

    As I said, complete 180 from company driver. Didn't say I was free, only that I liked the freedom. Any j o b you have is gonna have rules. Again, it's all about choice. I choose this, you choose that. If you're happy that's all that matters. Why rain on everyone's parade all the time? You must be a very unhappy person.

    Nope! Having your own truck and trailer authority etc.. wouldn't make you free at all. Your always going have to be following some sort of policy..either your customer, bank, government and just safety in general to keep successful. That's why I like it here, those things are all taken care of just by following SNI rules .. Easy compared to handling everything yourself.

    13 hour day today. Drove 2.5 hrs to pick up the Nestle water load. Hauled the 46000 lbs 6 hrs to Ohio. Then drove 90 miles further west to grab my load going to Florida. Nice surprise there, said 38k on the load board but is only 18k. Fuel mileage dropped from 7.6 to 7.1 today thanks to that water load. But this 18k load will get it back up there. I've got two days to run 950 miles, easy. Then a day off with the kids. Loving it.....
