    Does any one running extra board or Otr work days? I thought the start time was the same as scheduled runs but then I read post of people talking about they start whenever they want. At least that’s the impression I got from some people posting on forums who run otr for Estes.

    I don’t see why you couldnt becuase I know estes has a #### load of extra pups for every run they do at my terminal. I was a spotter and I’ve put many extra pups going here and there even though I assume there’s one schedule run per night.

    It depends on the freight flow, how long you stay out, what time you get out of your home terminal etc.

    I can see starting on Monday morning being an issue. Most likely your tractor would be being used by a p&d driver

    Days will depend on freight level and your terminal. Linehaul is all night and the guys who does have a day schedule has been here for long time.

    You will start at night. Only way to get days is back your time up or if your a Monday start try to call Sunday morning and go out with anything extra. It's all gonna depend on freight.

    Makes sense cuz if ur scheduled on a weekday night I can almost guarantee dispatch will hand ur truck out that day. Maybe if u call before 9am and get somthing extra. There’s always a #### ton of pups lined up where I work. And p&d work saturdays to move it. But yes I understand the schedule runs are mostly nights there is one day schedule run where I work.

    Absolutely. Only way to get on days is to goto bed @3am. But when you start next day no guarantee they will move you on your 10.

    Pretty much 98% you will run at night.
