Same here. It doesn’t pay anything extra at all - but you do get all of the added hassles. I’m one of the luckier ones: I haul propane and am home most nights (after a 15-16 hour day). While I don’t have to wait to be unloaded, I do end up waiting (at the refinery) to get loaded.
It certainly isn’t the glamorous - see the scenery - type of job the recruiters speak of; you’re too busy watching for idiots to really notice the scenery.
You’re right on that. My final run was from Ontario,ca to Az. Military bases. Good run since it was running I-10 through the desert. Just couldn’t make enough money.
