    Go into the owner operator forum or talk to guys like @freightwipper in the SNI thread . I don't know if you've ever run as an O/O , RC, but the freight lanes for everyone whether a single or a mega , all the money is in short mile direct ship and bounce , not an extra 24 or 48 on say a 1500 mile five day window

    Unfortunately the metric for a big company tends to be to bill more revenue not profit. Which is less per mile but longer runs . Drivers aren't a liability if they sit because drivers get paid piece work and are exempt from minimum wage

    Thinking it's the companies money until they give it to someone for work done within an agreement.

    Me? I quoted nothing. Nada.

    Now, if anyone could assist me with my question on what time to get there, that'd be great. I know the bullpen opens at 10 pm, but any info on if you can get there earlier than that?

    You were talking to RC but in a very public forum... So I responded... If you wish to have a private conversation with RC, I can show you how to send her a PM.

    And out of context? How so?

    You responded to RC, and I responded to you.

    How is that out of context?
