Expediting--- emergency freight delivery--- hmmmm, there should be an indicator in the names.
We work on a fireman's schedule. Wait until the bell rings, then go like crazy. A fireman may wait days until the bell rings. Read other posts around here and you find it's not at all uncommon to wait two or three days even in a "hot" area for the next call. Some places are so dead that the only thing to do, once you've delivered your freight, is get out and move to a place that's got better hope of getting something.
I work "hot shot", so I come home at the end of the run anyway. Now, you'd think Chicago would be fairly warm, at least, and you'd be right. Still, a three-day sit happens and at the end of it nobody's guaranteeing the run you're offered is worth a hoot. I've had checks of a couple hundred dollars. I've had checks approaching two grand. What any given week is going to turn up-- your guess is as good as mine.
