    @jtaran06 you need to be a man and come back home where you belong. R&L isn't who you are. You're an Estes baby

    I had a 1575 start time, 55 hours a week run for a little while. I was holding an extra board bid run before that. Was getting mileage runs almost every week.
    Got bumped off both those runs. Now doing a 2000 start 52-53 hour run.
    Beauty of these hourly runs is I drive 360 miles a night tops. Lots of sitting and waiting on trailers being loaded. Then building and breaking down sets.
    There's a 55+ hour run that is up for bid that I got my eye on. Pretty sure I can get it.
    All in all I'm surprised at the type of runs I'm able to get with my seniority.

    Try one or two benadryl and 5-7.5 mg of melatonin. I sleep like a baby with that combo when I ran sleeper team.

    DEF is a combo of ammonia and cattle piss, it's injected into the DPF to help break down the built up carbon in the DPF and to keep it cleaned out, prior to 2010 models, just diesel out of one the fuel tanks was injected into the dpf gilyer.

    My run has been producing about 45 hours per week, which I'm perfectly happy with. I'm honestly happy just to have a set start time. It's the bee's knees.

    The set schedule is huge. On call was pretty rough the first two years.
    Glad things are working out for you. It's gonna get real nice when you go top rate!
