    Do you really really mean it? Or do you just mean it? There is a big difference.

  3. if you're out in the middle of nowhere with an ungoverned truck it's easy..
    if on like dedicated run say from
    Tucson to El Paso can you turn it five nights a week.. 317 miles each way only 634 miles a day..
    speed limit other than Phoenix and Tucson and getting into El Paso or 75 mile an hour piece of cake hardly any weather elements to worry about except wind and dust storms may be a monsoon the little slow down but for the most part throughout the year that's a gravy run.
    now do the math 634 x 5 there you go

    I'm use to driving closer to 3 thousand miles per week instead of closer to 2100 I can do in my sleep within a 3 day period.

    If each of us have some things in common, 1) we are out here to make money, between $850 to $1'500 a week, after taxes. 2) Getting between 2800 to 3 thousand miles per week.
    3) Not dealing with dispatchers with questionable knowledge.

    When I do Pepsi the loads are only 56 miles or so driving, then you sing the Keep on Hand Truckin songs, some pallet jackin. Same at UPS Freight lots of push time, but the money is good all over 22 bucks.
