    Ok I have gotten the drift that you guys hate some of the trucks you have, what about the 3 axle Volvos, there was a big E one parked at the hotel last night when I left, VNR style one with the new headlights, you guys like those? We have some now, really nice but I have only moved one around the yard, haven't ran one yet.

    Equipment is junk and not too many runs. Phoenix gets all the long haul.

    They're feeding me this week boys. I'm sitting at 2700+ after I finish this Tucson turn. If it works in my favor, I'll do a 34 in El paso Sunday with about 3800 Miles for the week.

    So i finally got a call from headquarters. Had to redo my entire 10 year work history which was annoying but had it done. Now just waiting for the next step, i hope it doesn't take too long. Anyone been through the dock to driver process what its like. Anyone know what pay is for Charlotte from my research it looks like 18 an hour but would like to get a definitive answer and do dock workers work 8, 10, or 12 hour days?
