Things have changed a lot since I was OTR. Don't get me wrong: all the things you said about NYC, New England, California, etc. were true then, too. The Banning scale has always been a friggin nightmare. But even Landstar is not what it was when I was a steering wheel holder. I had a looseleaf log and no PrePass or EZpass to record my location. I could do it like I wanted. Those days are gone.
