    I not playing cards. Honestly I'm just not liking the whole times up because the eld says so. Not like I can just drop everything because I'm told to. And being paid miles on eld is hard running east of Ohio. Those guys should be home nightly if they want out east, it a big cluster from hell there.

    I run the Northeast a lot and NYC once or twice a month. It is a pain but you just drive slow and do what you can. I just make sure I get what I need going in to make up for the lost time. If you get to the point of running your own authority, the ELD isn’t much of a concern; in my opinion at least.

    You guy's make me LOL if you can't make a living working 14 hour days and a 70 hour week there is really something wrong with your thinking just give more hours at less pay so I can make more is not the way to make money.

    While my current pay per mile is not stellar. At 43cpm. And not sure any pay increase is coming my way. Percentage would be much better. 2500 miles per week does not pay much.
