Way to much time sitting at docks every day and having to give the first two hours at each place makes for too mant hours and not enough miles.

I hear ya #5.
When I ran dedicated, I occassionally subbed for other dedicated accounts. One of those accounts was doing a 4-stop (drop/hook) loop (2-loops per day; M-F) originating from Milwaukee, WI to Oshkosh-Neehah-Greenbay and then back to Milwaukee. If everything worked perfectly, I had about 15-min to spare in a 14-hour day (doing everything by the book).
Granted it wasn't Chicago (and all the construction), but 14-hour days can take the snot out of you. Sometimes being home every night isnt' worth it -- I remember at times being wasted (very tired) by Friday evening!
