    I know I wouldn't want my girl to be a broker, lot better jobs out there IMO.


    Sounds like your dealing with some real shady brokers, what's keeping you from hauling for the better ones?? Bad track record?

    Something about how driving slow in California is making the OP broke.

    Ran thru Oregon yesterday and today at 58 and I only passed 1 truck. Of course, he passed me too a few minutes later.

    I ran 60 all day today and I found it a lot less stressful. Just set the cruise and go. Everyone just passed me and went away. It was nice. Got good fuel mileage too. Still managed 600 miles today.

    10.47. That's not all interstate driving either. I left home had to drive 2 hours to go get loaded then had to drive up to Wisconsin. But I'm paid by the hour so more drive time= more money for me.
