Definition of "running hard"?

Probably your head against the wall cause your brain damage is showing in your post

 

well I do that just for driving a truck most of the time but that’s only because so many of you are willing to give your time away for free

 

Had plenty of 6-7000 mile weeks when cows were busy. In the spring it was 2 rounds a week out of Cali. Late summer was 2 rounds a week out of Florida. Fall was 2 rounds a week out of Montana.

 

Running hard when I was OTR was running the 11 hr or 14hr clock down to less than 15 mins, take a maximum of 10.5 hour break, repeat until my 70 hr clock was gone. Then do a 34 to 40 hour reset and start over again. Doing this I was turning 12.5k to 14.5k miles every month.

As said before, this requires keeping the left door shut. In my opinion, this also requires a very good dispatcher that knows how to schedule loads that can keep you moving with very little waiting for reloads or appointments, and works with facilities that dont take more than 2 to 3 hours to get a truck in and back out on the road.

 

I'm surprised you didn't do up one about Ag. Exempt loads... You and I both know how Those can make you run hard.

 

My trucks & trailers are paid .. I don't work for free either .. my loads aren't strapped down on a flatbed .. when I drop the door on my trailer it's time to go .. but that's something you probably wouldn't understand .. being a flatbedder
So before you start claiming everyone that runs hard is a broke joke you better do some thinking

 

Big facts my guy

 

Running hard? I created my profile here like 8 years ago, with the same ambition. I ran hard otr, dedicated, and lastly foodservice. I have destroyed my mental health, and now I am doing everything I can to heal it. So, in the end "Running hard" aka maxing out your clock, 30 in the fuel isle, barreling through the highway tailgating everybody, is for dumasses.

 

Running hard?
Ten years of back to back west coast turn arounds living off pills, toothpicks, roller dogs and coffee. Sleeping one hour a week sitting in the drivers seat. And beating the crap out of anyone who got in my way.....lol

 

If you know you know

 

Or it’s when ol boy is set up to get paid but he has to do what he has to to get all of that gravy he can before the rest of the potlickers come sniff in round.

See for some we don’t mind helping a guy out however we don’t do it for regular price and #### sure won’t for less. You wanna see the show......put your money on the table son. Makes no sense to work harder for less......any tard with one eye and half sense can see that. Course when a guy is incompetent and cannot fathom the concept then ya he thinks hard means cheap
