    Depends on where i am at. About 2 weeks or so I dragged a empty all the way to Savanna from Louisiana then bt to Nashville to pu a empty only to drop it 3 blocks to pu a preloaded. About 1200 miles of no freight. Savanna and most Georgia area is bad for emptys. Midwest I don't have a lot of issues.

    I'm a night owl, usually up till 2-3am, and believe me I get my 10 hours of sleep when my body wants it. Probably won't roll out of here until about 10-12am. New rule does suck bigtime, especially if you want to drive through the night and make a late morning delivery then take your restart, gotta sit for a whole extra day it seems.

    Holla Holla fo a Dolla Tree usually has empties in Savannah, always the best bet. South in general seems to be iffy but right now its just downright horrendous.

    There is nothing wrong with mileage at all, but the beauty of Choice to me is that it's all on me and not a dispatcher sending you to wherever although on mileage the deadhead is paid. I was asked the question about why Choice over mileage? My response was well I'm not sure if I could dispatch 50-60 drivers better than a dispatcher, but I'm pretty dang sure I could dispatch 1 better LOL.
     
    EggoTrucker Thanks this.

    DFO,reading your travels makes me realise that the workproblems i sometimes have, are small compared to what you have to deal with.
    Don't let them get you down.
