[QUOTE="RockyRogue, post: 317423, member: 7185"] Probably depends on the run and the terrain they have to deal with. Last Spring, a load was dispatched from the Southern California air hub (Ontarion, I think) destined Denver with NDA. Somewhere in the Intermountain West, their rig brokedown. A load due in the Denver yard at 3 p.m. didn't pull in till after 11 on a Sunday (Denver's Day Sort runs on Sundays). Very unhappy management. Those drivers were hauling. They made it from a weigh station west of Denver to the yard a half hour to forty-five minutes less than normal. I saw a lot of them in the Denver yard when I worked for UPS. I glanced at one once and someone had attached "Mesquite, Texas," to a door or other part of the cab. And yes, they probably make big $$. Keep in mind these guys are away from their families all week. I'm not married but if I had a wife and kids, I wouldn't do it. I'd like to be at my kid's games, etc. -Rocky [/QUOTE]
