    Its not really a dedicated run but just that we have repeat customers that all our drivers rotate through depending on when driver is free to head out..any where from 3-4000 mi a week depending on which customers we deliver and pick up from..

    Some one explain this “U-turn” phenomenon?
    What did he do, a u-turn on the interstate? If so the idiot should be banned from driving.

    It would be a dire emergency to ever see me doing a u-turn, I have passed a turn many times and driven miles to a safe turn around, I can't tell you how many times I have seen guys making a u-turn turn out bad and even deadly over the years.

    Gotta be nuts to do it period.

    I see idiots do it all the time.

    Find a parking lot to turn around instead of using the streets. Blocking traffic.

    This u turn thing is a bunch of bs..Cant believe they held that against you unless it was just completely over the top.U turns can be done safely in select certain situations. There has been a few times I had to do them but I made sure it was above and beyond safe at the time. Nothing is ever cut and dry out here and some of these companies dont take that into consideration..oh the micromanagement these days....

    no I read they have a no uturn policy, one was in a truckstop I did it to fast and hard. The other one was a wide intersection. Doesn't matter now of course, but if I had known how offensive they were I wouldn't have done it. :)
