    I love doing splits on hourly because they just take longer. Especially when they come from multiple racks. Or my favorite, two different deliveries from two different racks. Throw in a wait and possibly gauging, and you're looking at a real good night without really trying.

    I'm paid by the load and I get $15 for split pay.

    Tonight I have 4 loads, 2 are splits. Sometimes they're right down the road from each other and other times they're way out of the way, I still like them though. More money at the end of the week.

    Last night I was surprised I got done with what I had in only 12 hours. I had two long distance splits with a long distance straight.

    Hey guys ...any O/O who want to share his experience ???
    How did you start hauling fuel with your own truck ?
    Do you regret buying that truck or do you think of buying more ?

    Short would be within 30 miles, medium 50 miles and long anything more. Last night I did a st augustine straight, palatka/florahome split, and then a st augustine split.

    Tonight I have a palatka/east palatka split, gainesville straight, st augustine split, then a local straight. About 14 hours on the dot if everything fits into place
     
    Cat sdp and Weeble Kneeble Thank this.
