I make more than fast food but when you take the hours and devide it by the pay, the fast food person comes out ahead. lets see, daytime driving, afternoon driving, midnight driving. not making your deadline, then getting blamed by the dispatcher for being late even though you didn't have the hours, told them, and they said it doesn't mater, do the best you can. getting blamed for acts of nature you have no control over. getting blamed for every other thing. weekend dispatch that does the bare minimum posable, witch doesn't include finding you a load. SHOULD I GO ON?
