Even as a company driver you have to do this stuff rev???

Good luck finding a HHG company that will hire you OTR as a company driver.

But yes - you would be responsible for all aspects of the move if you did. It isn't just driving from point A to point B. That is a very small part of it.

Who said anything about it taking me 2 weeks to drive 1000 miles? :?

This doesn't even take into account the lumper fees.

Sure it does.

No wonder you are so reluctant to take a shower and don't believe in tipping. :lol: :lol:

That sounds like a personal attack.

Personal attack? :lol: I didn't know you were that sensitive. :lol: Lighten up a little dude. This is just the internet. The fact is it takes HHG movers 2 to 3 times as long to drive a 3 day run. Although the revenue per mile may look good,the fact is that time is still money. It may work out good for some that don,t mind the extended layovers,but for most it doesn't.
