    The request 600 a day but like all things the pickup times and delivery date and time will determine when you drive.

    I don’t known who told you that but it is not true. I have never been told what time to start my day. I do my trip plan and away I go.

    Trucks run 62 on the pedal and 66 on cruise. They do send a fuel solution and routing solution with each trip. Pilot/J for the most part. Sapp Brothers in Utah and Wyoming. With all of the recent flooding in Iowa I routed myself to my destinations.
     
    atruckr and Lonesome Thank this.

    I have had 1 overnight run so far. It was a paper load out of Reno, where I live, and it was picked up at 1700 and I delivered it at 0700 and then to the yard for rest.

    Curious about turnover. Do they seem to have a high turnover rate, or is it pretty low?

    I really like what I’ve been reading they sound like an awesome company. How are the appointments scheduled, do they give you plenty of time?? And they don’t chain up, so do y’all ever get pushed to keep moving when the weather is bad or get told other drivers don’t have a problem why are you stopping??
