Bullis? You must be proud. And how will you ever find the time to invent
your wheel?

I am now a local driver for a company that caters to the area
manufacturers.Since this is the heart of the "dairy land", and also potatoe country, we
have many companies that dabble in various food products.
This particular company I now work for, runs a bit of an odd schedule for
trucking.
We start the day off at 0600 and we're done by 1400 and sometimes sooner.
Driving about 200 miles a day locally on an average.
For pay, we get paid on a percentage based on what the load pays.
For bulk stuff, like potatoes, it's based on the "hundred weight".
So the more you haul per load, the more you get paid. Keeping it legal of
course.
One driver was telling me they have a load that goes from here to Beloit,
Wi. and the driver gets $300.
Both ways.
If that were paid by the mile, you would only see about $150 round trip.
So now I'm home every night and may some times work on Saturday depending

Boring boring boring. But beats the OTR rat race.
So, when you post at say, 9AM, then you are lying? Pay per potato weight,Boring boring boring. But beats the OTR rat race.
