DC's you can generally drop early. It's just live unloads that you usually can't. Walmart for example will say 00:01 delivery, but you can drop...
It's definitely a luxury, but one that I don't think I could give up.
Yep, for all the reasons you listed. I also have Swift Terminals, Flying J/Pilot, Loves, Petro/TA, interstate rest areas, walmarts, and weigh...
Mine gives me fits with the GPS running too. Some places more often than others. If I'm going south on I-5 towards LA my QC will ALWAYS lose...
Yep. Only once did I make that mistake. Figured I'd deliver at the end of my driving shift, with 30 minutes to spare on 11 and about 2.5 hours...
Swift onroad tried to give me a preventable accident "hit stationary object" when I ran out of fuel. Got safely clear of the road, no hitting of...

I'm in a Prostar Eagle, the kind meant for teams/mentors. It's nice, lots of room in the top bunk I'm not using.
Of course it also occurs to me that if Swift is paying the usual .92(I think) a mile for O/O then independents will probably only take the Swift...
Don't know if I like this as a company driver. High chances of sitting on weekends if you don't have a load as it is, now if any unaffiliated O/O...
Oh yea forgot about the bbq guy. Last time I was there he was cooking up ribs, and I had no cash :(
Stay at Fontana. It's just 3 or 4 miles down the road, has a nicer driver lounge, and is definitely more 4-wheeler friendly if your friends are...
I'm thinking profit sharing or something. Didn't we just post a net profit quarterly? And I didn't get this said "bonus" btw /sad
Oh yea forgot about this childish whacky rule. You have to drive for 11 hours without any food or pee breaks, park on the side of the road...
