During the last couple years I've done the west coast run 8 or 10 times. I bang it to get out there, get a restart b4 unloading, and be ready to run with a fresh book. Invariably, I run back MT.

It's a nice run a couple times during the summer - kind of like a vacation. Especially to the Northwest - Montana is definitely worth seeing. I40 and I10 are just pavement pounders. Coming back MT from SoCal I took I15 through Vegas and up to I70. A nice run MT - would suck loaded. My 10-hour was a 20-hour in Vegas - a Bass Pro Shops Casino/resort across the street from the TA ;-)

The traffic in CA is horrendous, but unlike the eastern seaboard it generally moves.

One thing to remember, when things in the system work like it should you can make just about the same money leaving on a Sunday evening and being back home on Friday.

from i've seen in superior, if you stand in the dispatch window long enough or buy enough biscuits you get those runs. i never was much in to that.

I haven't ever bought biscuits. I just pull the loads they give me, don't complain and communicate in a professional manner. Its worked so far.

That woud require thought and planning. Not the company's strong suit lol!

Just to be safe no biscuits until June 2010!

so thats what i'm doing wrong, i complain about every load selection and i never once wanted to communicate with management, but i'm far from taking this job serious.:zzz:

Professionally communicate to them not to call u unless the run is 1500 miles+ and ideally dropping at the AZ/CA border cuz u don't wanna drive in CA ;-)

:roll:i get it ,i'll just shuck and jive in the dispatch window every time i'm at the terminal and act like i want to be at superior until the day i die! maybe i'll get a load west of ms. river. but then again that kind of stuff makes me Nauseous.:roll: you need to beware of those ''company guys'' there the kind that will drop a dime on ya, just to stay in the dispatcher's ear.:thumbsdown: and in advance no, i don't care. x2x3x4x5x6 etc.:ranting:

I know what you mean and it's disgusting. With Keasbey having gone union, I wonder if that got rid of any of the favoritism?
