    I usually hit the drop yard with less than an hour on my 70. The planners at this company are beyond phenomenal. If a driver is somewhat consistent, and can run, they can wring every minute out of your hours, and still get you home +/- an hour or so of whatever time you send in your "I wanna go home" macro.

    Same here. Not a fan of those anymore. Actually ran 2870 miles from Monday-Friday. I prefer my 200-300 mile days on hourly pay.

    Lord, yes!!! I have 2 days in my week that are straight 10-11 hours of driving (so about 12-12.5 hours total). Those days are getting more and more exhausting. When I have 3-4 hours of driving to a customer, 3-4 hours unload, and 3-4 hours driving to either the next or back to the terminal, I can get a decent workout in, fix a nice meal and relax a little- all while getting paid.

    It's already too late. Ya'll have issues with the deception of a 'flock' camera tracking your vehicle's location, but you're o.k. with carrying around a much more invasive tracking device every where you go? And by that I mean, your cell phone. Which not only tracks you, but listens to you as well. Even if you use a deGoogled phone, it is still tracked, by the cell companies so the cell network stays connected and functions properly.

    Are you driving a modern vehicle? Tracked...even as far back as the Pinnacle I was driving for Moore, which was a 2016, had built in communications so Mack could remotely diagnose any faults, direct you to the nearest dealer that had the parts, AND schedule your appointment, all based on where you were broke down. Most of the ELD systems like Peoplenet, Omnitracs(formerly Qualcomm), Samsara all utilize the trucks onboard communication to stay connected to their servers. If you don't want to be tracked nowadays, you need to grow a beard, put on a funny hat, change your name to Samuel or Isaiah and ride around in one if these

    And move out in the middle of nowhere, far away from any population.

    Isn’t it Grand Island, Council Bluffs, and Morris? I know I got 230-ish gallons at Morris a few times.
