Hard and fast or slow and easy

Well driver it's not like anyone wants to burn their clock out. It's the way the loads are given to you and if you have enough time to take it easy or if you gotta haul butt. When I drove for the bigger companies I would try to drive 8-9 hours a day so I would have hours left at the end of the week. Now that I drive for a smaller company I generally have to run like a raped ape with his hair on fire half the time. I prefer to take it easy but if the freight has to get there it gets there...that's my job bottom line

 

Id rather get there and be done with it. Or atleast get over half way before I sleep.

 

I tend to run hard. It's just the way I've always done it. Depending on the pu/del times, I'll run as far as I can the first day, as an example. That way if something unforseen comes up, Ill have the extra time to deal with it. I can tear up a logbook pretty well in 6 days.

 

hey I crushed my 70 in 5 days....I actually had to go back and touch it up good thing I use loose leaf!!!

 

Ya, you could, but geeezzzzz

 

hey man when I was running hard I was running hard...I busted jacksonville florida to detroit and then round tripped it again in less than 5 days. when I got to detroit on the morning of the 5th day I told dispatch that I was gonna need at least 10 hours just to figure out my log book It took me one and a half days to get up there one day back reloaded the next morning and I rolled back to Detroit by the next afternoon. I was hauling let me tell ya.

 

some make it as Drivers,others max out on Worry . . . . . .

 

good point tater......like I said I prefer to take it easy but If I gotta make tracks I make tracks cause that's what I get paid to do
