    You got that right...my wife and I were running a dedicated weekly run at the time and she was out sick and I had to make the appointment...

    no more of that...

    I might add that I was drug free....

    You know, I don't know that I'm too keen on the idea of driving reefer for a company... but fast trucks and loads of miles, many of them out west, even if you live east? Maybe Lessors has my attention. What's the deal with the insurance?

    Everyone should spend some time running a chicken truck. I highly recommend it while you are young.

    The insurance is super expensive for a family. Just you? $25 a week.

    My best of all time was Stockton ca, to grand rapids mi in 44 hours. Not sure miles per day but it has to be up there.

    Well it would be just me. I'd have to check my last checkstub, I don't even remember what I'm paying for insurance...sad isn't it?

    (I think it's 32 and change.)

    Welp...that ended as quickly as it began. Seems they're not interested in drivers from Illinois.

    You know it's funny ever since I put my two weeks in they have been giving me good loads finally made it out to greenbay only to get turned around for a load straight from here to PAC. I think it is stupid when you tell a company you are done so they try to get you to stay by giving good loads and offer better pay. Guess nobody told them I don't joke about quitting once I give notice it's too late. LOL

    The good loads would probably disappear if you were to retract your notice, anyway.
