    I've run 2500-3000 miles a week for the last three years. It's business, some people know what they are doing, some don't. I'm glad I work for someone that does.

    I run local delivery and Jan was crazy busy for me (avg 10-15+ stops a day). Ran just under 10,000 miles working 6 days a week. Hoping to get my first saturday off in 6 weeks this weekend. I honestly worked less when I was OTR.

    It's been very slow for jan going into Feb out of Arizona. Very little freight and whatever freight there is pays very cheap.Don't matter if you haul dry Van, reefer or flat. Pretty scary if you asked me. Hope it gets better soon.
