Gotta love one and done runs. Over 500 miles last night. Went to a meet point. Dropped trailer. T/O back. Easy 12 hours.
My first run was like that. At first I thought it was great, started at 0930 (like a normal job!), get on the highway set the cruise and listen to the radio. By the end of 6 months I was sick of it, waay too long in the seat. I stick to local runs now, never drive for more that 45-60 minutes without getting out of the cab and doing something, suits me much better.

What does that mean?

I hate local stuff. Give me 550+ miles and I'm happy... especially if it's a mileage run with a 72 mph tractor! We've got some of those that can be knocked out in under 10 hours most days.
To each their own I guess, although I would take a mileage run in a minute just for the money. Last year the company turned our two biggest mileage runs into 4-10 hourly runs, talk about a haircut.
