    One time I made a trip that was like 15 miles, I thought that was short. Today topped that.

    I had to make sure to bring an empty, pick up a loaded, deliver the loaded for a live unload and then do an empty call. All of this for a trip of..............A TENTH OF A MILE. I kid you not. I took this trailer from one building on this road over a single building. Loaded miles: 1

    And I had to drive 15 miles to do this and then found a company truck just sitting in the parking lot when I got here. HE could have gone get this trailer and bring it over here. I was in the parking lot of another pickup I STILL have to do today when I got this T-call of a tenth of a mile. But it wasn't due until 2pm so I sat in a snow covered parking lot for 5 hours waiting to unload this trailer that I'd hauled across country a tenth of a mile. Now my original load will be late. But it's not my fault.

    Don't you just love being paid by the mile. Oh, but it's so much better than hourly pay for trucker. At least that's what some here swear by...
