    Regional pays less, you run just as far though. If you want 2 weeks out and three or four days home then just go OTR. If you want to he home every weekend then you will not make much.

    Gotta love it when you get a relay and its 81,000 gross. Great way to burn half my day heading back to the shipper to get this fixed..

    On a side note, Ill be in the ATL on Monday, so firespock if you are still around we should gtg!

    That would suck. Sounds like Schneider does a lot of relays. I can count on 1 hand the number of times that has happened to me at Superior in 7 years. From reading Ethos posts Trimac doesn't do many either. The closest I have seen to it is a local driver preloading or delivering a load dropped at a terminal.

    I am a Superior driver lol. This wasn't a local driver, but it was a system load dropped at the yard. Should have been corrected at the shipper as we have to scale in/out when picking up or dropping off.

    I don't mind relaying it for the local guys to have something to do

    You won't see many more of those. How close was the shipper? I think of a relay as being drive 150 miles or so and then drop it or meet someone else to swap trailers. If its the closest terminal to a shipper then someone preloaded it for you and they should get an ### chewing for not getting the weight right.
