[QUOTE="qdg2, post: 5417433, member: 100309"] I guess anything is possible. Flying in for a sleeper run....wow. Let's say $400 round trip...every time? Possible. To make it worthwhile, you'd have to get a 6000 mile run. Imagine flushing $400-$600 every week. I can't. And consider all the lost time at the airport....both ways. That could add up to 4-8 hours. Cancellations could be problematic. I have considered following some work 2 hours from my home(sleeper). Consider: You may lose that bid next time around or get bumped. Either scenario is quite possible...probable for a rookie. I have 40 + and much is uncertain. You could get laid off... Making a 4 hour round trip every week would probably be too much...especially if you are gone 120 hours(5 full days). But being single.....remember you'll lose another 1/2 to a full day(practically) for travel....still sound good? Not to me. You said 8 hours one way? Means 16 hours of additional driving on your 2 off days? Really? Have you thought that through? I know of some traveling surgeons....but this ain't that. Get everything in writing(the promises). S P E L LE D out. [/QUOTE]
