[QUOTE="OrioN, post: 2403811, member: 58562"] I drive like i'm a single owner operator/ single route contractor. i can come in early one day 7am, and if there's an accident on my commute highway, i text the manager that i'll be stuck in traffic until as late as 930-10am. I keep my vehicle in decent operating condition so there will be no breakdowns while on route & keeps in touch with his fleet mechanic to get things fixed over the weekend. absentee owner, manager that i rarely see because i know my area well enough... his only function is to look at my pile o boxes and makes sure i can fit em all in my 400 cu ft uhaul (then flexes the overflow to the neighboring p700s if need be) with the garmin gps tech integration, i can drive stress free & just be a dumb truck driver. I can coordinate with the HD dispatch to re-zone my areas to make it beneficial to me (straight lining to have my last stop closest to home, instead of towards the hub) i know i may need to have tire chains or cords if this winter is gonna be bad (never had to use them in the past few winters because it was kinda mild in my previous areas) but this rural area i'm at now may have me putting them on (or at least get all terrain treads on the drive wheels) [/QUOTE]
