    I thought what you had was a dedicated, light weight run every week that paid well. Obviously, that doesn't change the home time, but 2 out of 3 is pretty good.

    I like the local fuel idea. I haul cars, & between the expenses & variable up/down nature of auto sales, will be looking for something else before renewing plate/insurance in March.

    My run is dedicated and lightweight, which is great in the summer, but a nightmare in the winter time!!

    And the pay is good but that is when the plant stays operating. This year I have been off a total of 11 weeks unpaid!!

    I do have a 280" wheelbase and my fifth wheel has a 2 plate side with the ability to add 3 more plates if needed to get me to the rear of the frame ;)

    I think the writing is on the wall. I'd try to use that to negotiate a new deal with them after you get approved with Pape. If they can make it worthwhile to stay (I doubt it), then you can choose which way to go.
