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.
