    No kidding on the paper logs. We have to log our fuel stops within 15 minutes of the time the shows up on the card so I'll leave, go as far as I could until I needed fuel, log that all as the day before, and then start over for the day with a clean slate.

    Gotta make money somehow, right?

    your pay is about right with most places, but the scheduling is sure not helping you. A 2 1/2 day run that is set for four days. I've gotten loads like that and been there on Thursday and it's on to the next load. Our company always tries to help with getting unloaded early if we say we can make it. That is also a plus for flatbed loads, there are lots of places who will say, "you get here, and we'll get you unloaded".
