    About 450 miles...

    That’s actually one of the longest we have.

    That’s not terrible I guess. Plenty of time to take a couple of naps if he isn’t used to working that hard.

    The fact that it involves 95 in VA will take care of that spare time.

    Remind me to never do linehaul on the east coast.

    This was a rough week, I’m glad it ended early. Awful weather every day, constantly getting jerked around by local dispatch, central dispatch, hub supervisors, and even other drivers.

    My dispatcher asked if I wanted to run tonight...I laughed at him and hung up.

    I would’ve ran today if I was offered something good, but I refuse to take a straight truck to the DC or northern VA suburbs and do residentials on an off day. I’ll stay home first.

    A extra run better take me at least 120 miles from the yard. Anything less is an insult to my dignity. :cool:
     
    McUzi, jmz and Digman943 Thank this.

    Anyone else running today? I don't have the seniority to weasel myself into a four day weekend so I am stuck peddling freight.

    To make things worse, i can't get anything off cause everyone is closed. I am about to hit the point where there is too much freight coming back to work around. Guess my company is the only one to stay open today.
     
    Cardfan89 Thanks this.
