    When you say run at night do you mean all night and try to sleep during the day? It's a big difference running from say 9pm until 7AM, than running until Midnight or so.

    As a 6 month driver at barr-nunn i can confirm everything he has said. When i started at total of ms if i only got 1800 miles i was starving. Here you get 1800 miles you still bringing home 7-800 bucks. Not that this happens very often because it doesn't. I am usually 23-2500 mile range. In which case my check is around 11-1200 net.

    what and where is the majority of the freight? is it random broker loads everyday or are there consistent shippers and recievers that you deal with
