    Ha no its the truth. You gotta put in your time have ontime deliveries. Alot of the loads are real tight. I'm working harder on the loop then I was running 48. Be real good at time management. Getting unloaded during breaks. Sleeping at recievers but I love it.

    GWG, most likely you'll be treated like 90% of the drivers at May your first year. 1,500 to 2,000 miles a week. You know, 500 mile dispatches with 2 days to deliver. You deliver at 1900 and all the planners have gone home for the night, so you get to sit all night and wait 'til they come back in the morning around 0800, get a preplan at 1000 for a live load that picks up that night at 2100 with 350 miles on it that delivers at 2330 the next night ;-)

    I guess I'm part of the 10% I ran 124, 000 miles my first year with May. Made 38k first year didn't train.

    You get a truck wash every 2 months. And yes, that is a nice Peterbuilt hat.
