It's nothing bad just how "people" we have to deal with in our everyday job/life is having a bad day and seems to take it out on who walks in the door next.

Yet another 90 mile trip. Im north of the yard again. I dont know what to do. Its hard for me to turn down loads when I know someone has put effort into getting me that load. But....in the last 5 days, Ive ran a grand total of 175 loaded miles. The pay hasnt been what is should be either for short trips.

I may make some mistakes and dissapoint somebody, but I need 1 of 2 things.
1. Longer loads with decent pay or
2. More of the short loads....and they need to pay like short loads should.

My first week (started on a wed) was promising, given that it was a partial week. None of the loads were very long, but they paid well enough to make up for it. Even then, I would have liked to have stayed just a little busier. It has been down hill ever since. One decent run (400+miles) with mediocre pay and 3 short loads since last tuesday.
