    I think their terminal is in Jersey? Does anyone run JB dedicated who lives in Brooklyn? Can you get home every night and if so what time or does the commute on public transportation make it unfeasible? Is the pay okay?

    They have a terminal in East Brunswick, Nj you can run for them if you live in brooklyn but you will end up spending your paycheck in tolls and gas if you want to be home every night or you can get a sleeper where you can be home every weekend which is what i did before and for the transportation where they are located at is not easy for you to jump in the bus and switch bus to Ny or you will take greyhound or transbridge everyday which is like 4 or 5 hours lol it's not going to work if you want to be home every night or you have to move closer.

    How much money could I expect to pull in every week just being home on the weekends? Why'd you quit?

    Funny today I unloaded at a parts supply company that they have a contract with, watched one of their drivers moving some trailers, he left the trailer brakes on one, gave up backing into the spot next to me after like 4 tries, then he almost hit another trailer when he was backing into a spot, he may have been having problems due to the cameras on my truck recording it all or he may be just that bad,
