    Yea the low starting wage is the pitts, but at least it goes up too .50 cpm and 20$ hourly in three years. So thats a good thing.

    Does that 15% only apply to the union terminals?

    Radman,
    In Socal there is construction on the I-5 in Los angeles and on the Grapevine. Total parking lot sometimes. Running the 5 sucks anyway but it is getting ridiculous with the construction. I sat in it for over 3 hours one night. I'm thinking I just might start trying to go around it. Quite a bit out of the way and don't know if Reddaway will go for it but it would break it up for me.

    Yeah sounds like SoCal. I would definitely ask cause that's burnin your 14hr rule. I used to run a highway around the outer skirts during rush HR when I was otr. Seemed better, backed up just a lil but got outta there in decent time.

    Yeah cause legally I have to log 8 hours to Sacramento. So it almost put me over the 11 hrs driving. Of course I fixed that though.

    I know, I love the paper logs! I was so happy when I took the road test and saw the drivers paper log book on the dash.
