    Yard Jockey ?

    Oops didn't see the last post.

    I tried Yard Jockey and home everday. I just got sick of poor conditions in our yards like huge potholes, the winter conditions, or frozen trailer brakes.

    Estes Express Lines, but I'm sure other LTL company's have similar runs.

    Worked 6.75 tonight with a 15 minute drive home. Was able to run my ### off and empty the trailer nice and quick. I'm setting myself up for a nice under 40 hour week.

    Now with your spare time. Don't go doing a run for BillyBob's Alligator Eatery. We don't want you disappearing.
