    My wife's company just hired one of their former managers to run their new DC in St Marys. Thats how I found out about them. How is the highest scoring determined?

    Yeah. They had a run posted a while back that was out Monday from Bryan (25 mins from my home) to Texas and back. Not sure if it's still abaliable but I liked the sound of a dedicated 2400 mile week that could potentially be done in 4 days.

    A word of advice.......You need to drop the idea of only working 4 days a week. This is a 24/7 365 industry. The sooner you accept this, the better off you will be.

    I realize that. I am planning on being gone 6-7 days a week. Just thought that was an interesting dedicated run. Only a couple like that that I have come across.

    Those kind of runs sound great, until......

    You figure out they don't pay very well.
    You figure out that it's the same route over and over again.
    I'm sure there's more. Haven't had enough coffee to get the brain cranked fully up yet.

    You can try it and see if it's worth it. If not, Bryan has lots of different types of runs, from looking at the website. I like they have 4 divisions including runs to Southern California.
    They hire new cdl grads.

    No idea, my school was Apollo up in Lima, they based their scores on a 100 point system. I finished with a score of 98%, only guy above me was a former driver who was getting his CDL again
