    Yuppers. It's because of all the beer we haul. Super singles save weight. Not sure how much, though. I see plenty of other trucks at the breweries running duals on their trucks and trailers. It can't possibly be significant.

    I think about Millis from time to time you guys scare me with all the Chicago loads and now super singles. Yes I go there time to time. I do more pickups then deliveries though.

    Meh, Chicago isn't bad, man. And if you're worried about traction, I never have problems.

    Yeah, every big city is a pain in one way or another.

    I prefer to go in early and leave early. Sometimes it's works that way and other times I'm taking two hours to go a quarter of a mile.

    I remember Millis advertising they would pay you an extra 5 cents mile when theyre late getting you home.

    I'm honestly not sure about that. I've been late twice, but not by a significant amount of time. Not enough to matter. My dispatcher is pretty liberal with time, so I just took an extra day off. No biggie.

    #### man thats some bad fn luck! No kidding? Man still cant believe how big of a nightmare that road was last wk. Also I have heard "rumors" that there is some consideration being done about getting away from the super singles. No idea how true that is as you know how truck drivers are with rumors so it could be complete bs lol
