    Class B is free?Must be nice.Like you said class A is overrated.I'm to the point finding something else other then driving a semi,something that pays better.

    A local DC driver that goes from a city DC to deliver freight/packages/equipment to various customers throughout a city, or vice-verse. See FedEx, UPS, USPS, etc.

    LOL

    The downfall with feeder runs is that they are set runs with a set schedule. You stop at the same places every day at the same times. It's like a never ending Groundhog Day (if you ever saw that movie).

    That pretty much sums it up. I'm not much of a Bill Murray fan myself, but that was actually a good movie.

    I don't think there is a weight limit on straight trucks as long as you have the overweight permit. The truck I drive weighs almost 80,000 and it is a straight truck with 4 axles(2 front steering axles, tandems in the back)
