    Go "too far east or too far west", and you end up in the drink.

    I drove for Whiteline for 2 years. I was in Mass and Conn 2 times a week staring at the ocean. Never ran auto parts with them either. But I guess things can change in that regard. They're owned by PlastiPac and haul mainly empty pepsi bottles. I ran out of Jackson Center, OH and if they haven't changed dispatchers, one can expect to work a full fourteen. Take a ten at the yard. Make a 5 hour round trip to Cleveland. Then they'll tell you take another ten cause they have a hot load that has to be at Kens Foods south of Atlanta in 22 hours. Who can sleep after 5 hours?

    Yea, i realized I was confused earler, trying to remember who the auto parts one was. I ran allot of plastipak while at heartland. Would be what I would pick up after unloading auto parts at another warehouse. Or when I just happened to be empty in parts of Ohio.

    He requested no negative comments, and the very first comment was about how he wasn't going to be able to make much money. FYI, he's got plenty money. He's not out here for money, he's in for the scenery.

    It wasn't negative, it was a question. Everybody's finance is different and if he could live off 200 a week that's good.
