    I usually get a good paying load from TQL...once a year. Which is how many loads I haul for them ;-)

    What's also fun is when they call about your truck posted in one city, and tell you a pickup 300 miles away like it's some kind of suburb of the city you're in.

    How many hours per day did u sleep having to load and unload every day? It's 3600 miles all together and it's not realistic to fit all that in 70hrs...

    8 hours :) If I sleep more, I have a bad mood. The biggest loading time for this week is 3 hours. And for now I'm doing a 34 in KY and tomorrow I have to drive 600 miles to FL.
    I'm working on the road, not sitting at the restaurants.
     
    Ruthless Thanks this.
