    i agree...from a sheer driving perspective that city work is more difficult. the only thing i can figure is the liability involved with linehaul. 99% of p&d crashes are fender benders, maybe averaging $15-20k a pop...?

    linehaul has a crash and i’d guess it’s close to a million by the time it is said and done. typically total loss on equipment and freight, hopefully no people seriously injured or worse.

    The only hard part about linehaul is not falling asleep. Most of the time drivers don’t get enough sleep and come to work tired before they even start working.

    If you're comparing accident rates from P&D to Linehaul, I think it is a difference in frequency vs. total liability.

    City accidents = high sum due to higher amount of drivers on the road, quantity vs. quality type thing
    Road accidents = high sum due to magnitude of accidents on the road, quality vs. quantity type thing

    OK, I let cat out of bag -- @MACK E-6 run for Abramovich Freight Line out of Chicago. You see him in white Volvo making over ten cents per mile! Is good money! You should come drive for us too, yes?

    ;)
