[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 5237420, member: 77939"] You make it sound so simple..... I had a route just like the OP's. Heavy industrial with 50 pickups....8-8. Nut and bolt route. I had it for 14 years. I went to feeders. But then I bid it(pkg route) every 2 years. I knew it intimately. Could count on it. I never filed on anything. It was what it was. Every run has it's +'s and -'s.....It was never going to change. Why? Simply because you couldn't/still can't depend on the Union to have your back. See, you don't address this. The "target" on your back so-called. For example: I have a road run in feeders. I will never have a local CPU run even if it started at a pleasant 0:700. Why? Pkg car in a feeder. All it is. Rush rush hurry hurry. Traffic. Same old BS. I'll work deep nights to stay out of a part-time dispatch chicks idea of how to drive a truck..... Imagine.....going to work everyday to fight. Angst. Angst. Stress. No thanks. Go where they ain't. My contact with the office is about 30 seconds each day. Grab keys. Turn in keys. Maybe a pleasantry. Maybe not. [/QUOTE]
