    No thank you.

    Yeah, I would rather live off my savings (unemployment is non existent so far) and ride this out for the next few months

    There is work out there, but it is laughably low paying. I saw one ad for a no name outfit. They want 2 years experience stay out for 2 weeks minimum driving a 12 year old Volvo for.....$800 per week.

    $800 a week is one thing, but having to drive a Volvo on top of that is adding insult to injury. o_O

    Watched a Knight driver park in fuel island at pilot near flagstaff and go in and get a shower and manager told him he had go park first so he pulled forward in front of the fuel island then went in and got a shower and they couldn't find him, They were calling him whole time to move on the speaker system. Finally got stern with him and told him to move NOW after they found him in subway. LoL! Knuckleheads out here.....

    Save money fuel wise running local and I imagine they are getting paid more than a company driver since they pay for everything, Id hope at least cuz 250 a day for owner op is a bit small.

    Thought they were sending you back to a Yard tomorrow for a PM? Are they keeping you on Publix too since you got the PM local?

    Ya, I’d hope/expect that they would get more than the $250/day ... Publix is paying for a Driver and Truck, the O/O better get a portion of both. I was just making the observation that I was seeing a change in which drivers were showing up down here. Must be swapping out a few more drivers.
