    like everything else in life you get adjusted to it. If you have a condition like sleep apnea, you tend to do something about it because you could die if the person is not on a CPAP or dental appliance like the one I displayed above.

    Talk about get a sore throat. I can tell if my mouth falls open while I sleep as I wake up with a raw throat.

    Do like I do, EXERCISE!! I'm going jog right now! Much easier than sleeping with a machine strapped to your face!

    They also pay by the hour when you’re not driving. It’s difficult to get high mileage running 5 days. If you run hard you get more loads and more money.

    I get paid 8 cents per mile more as regional, so that is some compensation.

    I don't get paid by the hour for anything, and I run all 7 days just like when I was OTR.
    It isn't much different, except I don't go to the areas I don't like.
     
    Brandt and CalculatedRisk Thank this.

    That should help. I think drivers should get a hourly compensation in some instances.

    I run regional Houston/Dfw and some San Antonio. Im an o/o, and I run hard, but sitting around for hours and hours to load/unload is ridiculous, especially the pretty easy on off fb freight I run.
