    The ol saying of "do what you love". I'll be happier with the bank roll coming in. I hear alot of good things about ODFL. Sounds like they pay their drivers well.

    I run a long ways from the yard, so I’m only touching about 1.8 on a good day.

    It’s the guys that stay nearby that they depend on for that number.
