    My last 4 loads were 1900, 2100, 751, 820. I have been to the rail yard once in the last 6 months. Most of the loads heading to the west coast are shipped so we haven't been pulling there as much.

    Why does the 4 stop run suck? I like the LTL stuff. More money.

    do they keep you out longer than you wound like or you prefer to stay out 4 or 5 weeks, but those are good runs per trip, most companys going regional and swapping loads, almost all companys keeping runs around 400 to 600 miles per trip, do they let you idle for A/C when temps get hot, thanks

    Unless you have a 12 or 13 prostar. They have EPU for a/c. Works well, but only in the bunk.
