    Set it anytime, they want you to abuse it. If you still find yourself sitting a lot then you need to have a conversation with your DBL. For instance, I don't know what you heard but Cory is very easy to get out of, no reason to stick you there. I bet there are 8 to 10 loaded trailers sitting at BASF in Monaca right now waiting. Not to mention Nalco or down at Dow in Charleston. I never in my entire time ran a day locally, so what I'm saying is something is off.

    I remember. If you're okay with it then good for you. But I know you're out there to make money and OTR drivers make more of it with long runs. It's Friday, today is the day that makes or breaks next week's check. You need a long weekend run so by Monday you will already have a 1000 miles or so in the bank. Friday is the key at Schneider.

    Yeah I sent in a new Mac 17 for today cause delivered and dropped trailer earlier then they expected so I got less then 6 left on 14 cause plant took a while so waiting on a new assignment they had me end at Chicago qualawash well I waited 20 minutes got nothing and bobtailed to the Gary OC where I am going to wait for the night and pray I get an assignment if I don't have anything in like 3 hours I will send in a new Mac 17 for the morning cause by then my day will be well done with, but as far as local crap I don't mind it if there isn't anything I can take because at least I am not sitting for the day wasting my time especially because at Cory I sat 21 hours so I might not get lay over pay
