[QUOTE="bluebiker, post: 1314862, member: 18898"] I think it really depends on where you are as far as hours, type of work, etc. If you work in a hub with a lot of CPU jobs there's more 2-3pm start to after midnite jobs. A hub with a lot of hub to hub stuff has runs around the clock. Some people like the CPU, local stuff, some people like the long distance runs. Some guys just like to shift. Ask some of the feeder drivers where you work about their runs, and what's available. As far as A/C, hopefully it works, the hubs with a lot of CPU work have some really old tractors, some well maintained, some not so well. Some guys won't write up their tractors till they really break. Most years during peak we got some nice rentals, this last year we had some real junk, they'd throw a "rental car" sticker and a DVIR book in it and put it on the line. One I got had ripped seats, air lines all screwed up, instant red tag. We've had some guys go back to package, I know one guy said he was going back to package 5yrs ago and he's still in feeders. I'm off the street, tell people it's the best job I ever had, (but the worst company I ever worked for). There's no one looking over your shoulder but the technology basically allows them to do it. I don't know how I'd feel if they had cameras in the truck that they could just randomly check you. Good Luck! [/QUOTE]
