    Regardless of the pay . I'd prefer to run then to sit all day waiting. Nothing more furious then sitting and waiting

    2 hours are free . So I'm making zero money sitting for 2 hrs before detention kicks in . $20 an hour , that earns me $20 to sit for 3 hours or $6.66 an hour .
    I can earn $40 rolling during those hours . You do the math

    No I agree with you I'm just saying some people are lazy and don't care if they could make more running harder they would rather make less money and do nothing

    Not to shabby... This is my current run. Started a fresh 70 on Tuesday 5/19 at around noon.

    Still have 715 miles to go to deliver and get home... And I've got about 1 hour more than what I need on 70 to do it. Will be cutting it close, but I will make it work. If I could deliver tomorrow I could be home Tuesday morning, but alas the holiday has messed that idea up.
     
    D.Tibbitt, Hulld and Coffey Thank this.

    Last week I did 4153 miles, this week will be slightly more than that. In fact my current run is fixing to be my all time best week... Just wish I could do it in less than 7 days. Because of the holiday it will closer to 8 days.
     
    650cat425, D.Tibbitt and Coffey Thank this.
