Any info would be helpful, just getting alittle tired of northeast garbage, and shorter hauls.
10-4!
Speaking of garbage...most of your garbage haulers (reefer) run long-haul dedicated westcoast turnarounds. That's only because alot of refregerated stuff can't be put on the rails. Just be prepared to take a cut in .cpm and run looseleaf to earn your daily bread.
I had a deal hauling produce out to the left coast. Tall miles out but then all the livelong day banging out stops in the metro LA area with a 270' wheelbase StarCar and constellation sleeper. That'll put hair on your cahones for sure! Then I'd do a reset in Vegas before I picked up a backhaul and was eastbound and down, loaded-up and truckin' again.
That was the heyday of multi-stop reefer. But when the feds tossed the sleeper berth provision and mandated a straight 10-hour break, it sure put a damper on the festivities. All legalities aside, I don't think I could pull those loads anymore as they were physically exhausting. The only thing I remember about that time was always being strung out: smoking and drinking. Dodging scales. Seemed to get sick more often.
Now it's 8 and skate for me...single-stack with a window in the back!!
