Do they get you home on time for holidays and other important dates you want to be home?
Holidays are just another day as far as that goes, except for Christmas. They guarantee everyone home for Christmas. As usual regarding my friend 007 there, I have had better luck than he has. The deal is: You send in a form requesting home time and they start looking for freight to get you home. You either get home in five days, or they pay you to deadhead. I usually get home in a day or two, which sucks sometimes because I always allow at least five days before I need to be there.

Do they give you good runs and not long sit or in between time?
Both. They give you whatever somebody needs to ship. Luck of the draw.

Layover pay?
It's not good, but you'll hardly ever get it anyway, so it's not a huge issue in my little world.

Teams do they run them well?
My team can't run to save it's life.
