    Pritchett Trucking out of Lake Butler Florida, I run a dedicated route and put down 2,600 miles a week. After all those miles in a daycab I'm ready for the weekend and the good thing is I have them off:biggrin_25524:

    If you're at about 30 cents a mile, you be screwed !!!!!!

    The work never bothered me - it was the fact I didn't get paid for a lot of that work that bothered me. I would imagine this is a huge reason a lot of newer drivers who can handle it end up quitting.

    I've never worked harder than I do now considering I'm on the dock for 3-5 hours per night but that's fine because I'm paid for it now.
