Saw they were looking for volunteers to run extra this weekend.
Left on my 10 last week, ran hard and got home early. The big terminals that normally have lots of drivers didn't have lots last week. I'll continue to ride this horse till it falls over

I'm on vacation this week,so I don't care..........
Just rub our noses in that ****. Damn, I gotta get out of bed in the morning.
Seeing some nice looking pay here. But let's look at it from the the flip side.
It's nice running 600 plus miles making 2k a week. It's also nice running 300 to 400, making a decent check.
I'm lucky I don't need the big $$$$. My wife makes just as much as me as an RN.
I'm running the extra board right now. I usually do a 350-400 mile run(including a via or 2) to the hotel, then a direct home(284 miles).
I run my 6 tours and then take my ATO. I usually get my 6 tours in 5 days. I'm loving my schedule. May not be a big check for me. But it's still good, and I'm relaxed.
No rushing, and a lot of breaks.
My wife works 3 days a week(12 hr shifts), so we both have it somewhat easy.
And between the two of us, we still make a very good living.

Thanks i got the pm
I used to think they were but after hearing the numbers, I'm not so sure. If you add the umpteen years of poverty wages they've worked for before they got their break then they are only playing catchup.

Someone over on the Con-way board caught wind of this thread and they're over there making fun of Estes for the hours they work and the miles they run. Don't worry about them, they've been brainwashed. Bet a lot of them couldn't run like Estes linehaul drivers if they had to.

Works all night every night, and have 20+ yrs seniority on a road run. IE: Sounds good when your 60 yrs old or started working for FXF when you were 20! If not, enjoy working all night every night on the dock for your first 15 yrs then if your still alive you can enjoy paychecks like this! Talk to a bottom feeder at FXF like myself and the glamorous life will keep you where you are.
