They expect the commitment because they prefer to avoid clowns like my trainer, who would drive 5 hours per day but only if he felt like it, and was several days late to most of his appointments.

You'll only be able to get 600+ miles on days where you have no pickups or deliveries. Maybe you can do your 600 miles in 9 hours, but only if you skip your pretrip, hold in your poop, don't stop to eat, and don't drive thru any hills or cities.

Ultimately they won't care which miles you drive on which days, as long as you pick up and deliver on time. And remember, in trucking "on time" means an hour early.

You can save, and then the economy goes to hell. Move back to the Country. Be debt free. Have your equipment paid for and we'll maintained.

You're wasted on TTR, you need a YouTube channel. If you hurry you can get 30 episodes in the can before you get your CDL.

Well I will console you, to run 600 miles in a truck will probably take you closer to 11 hours, past this you need to know the company does not give a crap if you like or not, or if you quit or not. By the sound of your post you need to go get a job pushing a broom at Walmart, cuase noboby here wants to run into cry babys like you while we are takeing out 10 hours off.

10 hours off means at 10 hours and 1 minute your ready to hit it for another 10 or 11 hours. Most of us do this because we want to run......

Good Luck at Wally World.
