Sure I'd do it in a heartbeat. Nothing ventured, nothing gained I always say.

How do you figure that?????

The drivers often make around $40,000 in 2 months of work, and just think. No log books. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would not do it. Nothing against working in the cold or the long hours, but I am not about to take such a big risk for only money no matter how well it pays.

U Turn i haven't figured out how to quote another post yet but I run team so I guess I do my math a little different. Watched the show the other nite and figured the days involved with the $ involved against the mileage involved. But I am used to figuring things on a team basis. Will not even look at a load if were not making $1000 a day.

To quote another post, go that the post to which you want to quote and click on the tab in the upper right hand corner that says "QUOTE". It will bring you to a post a reply with what you want to quote already in it. Just add what you want to say then click submit. It is that easy.
