    .70 for you? Amazing. The .65 solo sounds great. Good luck.

    Depends on the terminal and what’s open. Might start during week but can eventually end up weekends and eventually home daily still making road money. I am off Saturday and sundays and avg 2900 miles week. Top rate currently is .665 cpm plus drop hook pay . Easy to do 85-100k

    With the roads around here I don't know how anyone could sleep. I was going to ask about that. Thanks for answering.

    What? You don’t want to be traveling down the road at 70 mph, 21 hours every day where the driver is almost guaranteed to be fatigued and dealing with lack of proper sleep the past 2+ days? What’s the matter with you?

    I would like to know what percentage of trucks on the road today are teams. And of all the major crashes involving trucks, how many were team operated. I have feeling the numbers would be very telling, and an indication of how bad the roads are getting, everywhere.

    I did it 2 years. And I don’t see how people randomly pair with a dude they never met. I at least did it with my brother. 2 dudes trapped in a box constantly rolling you are eventually gonna kill each other. We had some decent down time but by end of day 4 your so fuken tired you just wanna be done. I don’t think I’d ever do it again.
