    How is everyone doing? Which port/ rail yard are you pulling out of? Do you run interstate or intrastate?

    I've been over the road for a while and I'm just a little burned out with being away from home a lot. I put applications in with AIS and PB Express. Do you know anything about them? The guy at AIS mentioned a new account that goes to Savannah and back.

    Did you mean BP Express, I heard good things about them, they have a lot of work I know that for sure and a lot of customers I go to I see them in the area. Ais not bad either also check out interstate, citrus and rail port.

    There's a PB Express on Old Kings Road near Edgewood. I forgot about BP Express, I used to hear good things about them. Thanks, I'll check out those companies you mentioned as well. I'm definitely looking forward to coming home more often.

    The ports out here not bad, short lines in and out in no time. Do you already have a truck? Are you running company truck? Which area do you live?

    It's working for me, you can average anything between $2k to $3k take home considering I don't work weekends, I don't run at night and the port hours are Monday to Friday 8 - 5, you can be home daily if you choose to, you run how and when you want. You can make more if you take longer runs, I just run jax to Atlanta I 75 corridor and jax to savannah I 95, all the loads pay loaded round trip, you get fsc if you are loaded or empty, if you haul reefer you get extra and extra if you are overweight. You get overweight permit cover you up to 90k
