    How is it the same pay when HHG miles robs you by a different amount of actual miles each load?

    Yup, Crete was my last job.
    Slow Freightshakers and lots of Northeast but for company OTR can't think of a better paying company.
    If I was still there I'd be getting paid .50 a mile on those practial miles.

    Love sitting at the Freightliner Dealership again 3rd time in 5 weeks same code. 99xxx miles on truck and so far a new Doser, DPF, and of coarse a Nox Sensor. Every dealership is the same no service, don't bring a trailer with you, I don't care how long you wait. These dealerships need to go Visit a high end car dealer then they will know what service looks like. At least no loads cancelled so far.

    Well if I had the glider while true the truck would not have been in the shop 3 times over the last 5 weeks. I will say each dealership has gotten me out in less than 6 hours which is faster than I have been loaded at times.

    If I had the glider I would NOT be here in the (Peoples Replic) California. Since I live in Denver, California provides some great paying loads home.

    I understand caption. I don't live anywhere near CA and have NO desire to go, I'll keep driving my smog producing truck. If I did live in your area though, I guess I'd bite the bullet.

    Good luck Dave......The emissions stuff is the biggest PITA on these vehicles.....seems like every year it's something else. At least you didn't get stuck along side the road in DC traffic on a Monday morning......I started drinking early that day.....
