Pay, Equipment, Home time. The truth is, The best paid drivers are the ones that know that is going on. I heard a driver in the lounge talking about his runs from Bakersfield to Casa Grande and back empty. I told my manager he was holding out on me and he put me on that run. No waiting just Go, Go, Go. Another run I lined up was Phoenix to New Jersey with Produce and Sam Adams back to Phoenix. Be proactive and keep the wheels turning or survive on the leftovers. This is true with most trucking companies.
