    I did that for a while, email companies and tell them how stupid they are. One guy said, " well, times are tough, and people need jobs" I replied, "It's a shame you are getting your drivers from people that are out of options". He never returned a reply.

    It's always been my belief, if there's a job opening with descriptions like that, it's because someone else got po'ed and quit. The sad thing is, eventually, they'll get someone who doesn't know any better.:biggrin_25513:

    We run Midwest to south and southeast. I came pretty close to 4,000 several times when our trucks ran 68 with e logs. Like was said it takes a lot of things going your way to make it happen but it's possible. Probably not reliable to count on it weekly though. I leave Sunday night and get home Friday.
