I left 2 years ago for a local gig and have been at that same local gig ever since. There were few loads that I ran under 800 miles. Some I can recall are Fair Oaks, Indiana to Coopersville, Michigan, there to Lowville, NY. Coopersville to Wisconsin. They usually stretched me out. Memphis to Bakersfield, California to Nebraska, New Mexico to Wisconsin, dead heads from Alabama to McAllen, New York loads to Iowa, Colorado loads to Indiana, etc.. I have waited at Coopersville, MI for 7-10 hours but then it would be 4 or 5 days later before I had to wait anywhere after that. Might spend 7 hours washing out and loading, but then be on the road driving for the following 4 days before having to wait 4 hours somewhere unloading it. I feel for the guys who post on here that it happened daily to them, but that wasn't the case for me. 5 hour wait maybe 3 times a week is what I encountered. The rest of my weeks were spent rolling on the highway.[/QUOTE]
