    So I take it you're still doing the Milw/chi/madison/chi/mil run? What is your start time and how many hours do you put in a day/week?

    I'm curious because I live very close to your terminal :D

    It's almost wintertime. Aka the Median and shoulder graveyard season for you wiggle wagons and Swift drivers. Be safe out there man. And what's your home time looking like.

    lol sorry bout takin so long to reply.


    my gate time, or the time im sposed to be out at/by, is 2100. hours vary due to delays or traffic or other problems but i usually get back to milwaukee by 0800. so around 10/11 hours.

    how close do u live to it?

    id apply if i were u. very happy. and the terminal manager is great.

    abf application is a PITA, especially if uve had a few jobs as i have, they want employment verification of EVERY job from the employer themselves of how long you actually drove to make sure you actually have 12 mo exp.

    based on my experience, id take Saia any day. ive never worked for ABF so im a little biased, but ive never been happier
