4000 miles a week

[QUOTE="semi" retired;4464388]It's always been my belief, if there's a job opening with descriptions like that, it's because someone else got po'ed and quit. The sad thing is, eventually, they'll get someone who doesn't know any better.[/QUOTE]
Learned over my short time. KEYWORDS. This and only me throws up red flags.

 

I ran 4000 miles legally in a week a few times, hauling locomotive engines on a drop deck... I shortened the time on paper that I spent inspecting, waiting, tarping, chaining, and stopping to re-tighten along the way, only fueled every 1000 miles, and the average speeds on paper were helped by the fact that a lot of the miles were in Nebraska. Might have been a slight stretch, but I'd still say it was legit. Couldn't have averaged the speed limit pulling hills with that thing on the trailer, but this was a lot of flat ground. I did it now and then for the extra money, but it's a lot of hard running, even in good weather, especially if you're running during the week to be home by Friday evening/saturday morning for the weekend off. But if someone is happy with the lifestyle they'd have running 4000 miles a week, I ain't judgin'...

 

I think the hint in the ad that states "paper logs" tells the real story. I dont think anyone can run that hard week after week and not get burn out.

 

The ad says 'ask for Ray'...... Didn't I just see you were parting ways with him?

 

I'm going to contact this guy and tell him I was fired from Sullivan Transportation recently for taking a crap behind my bobtail. Going to promise I'll do it inside the truck from now if he hires me.

 

Patty what about doing LTL? Possible to get on Line haul. ABF no, But others is very possible.
