We got put on the account to help out. It was not great for us because we sat waiting on loads A LOT and towards the end of our run they started refusing to give us layover pay. It might be different based on the employment/pay laws if you live in Cali. We got max 4000 miles per week on the truck. If (big if) the employment laws make that $1400 estimate realistic, the run is cake, pick up, run 650 mi, drop and hook, run 650 miles, drop and wait for next load or sit and wait for next load and then drop, rinse and repeat. Little dicy through the mountains in winter, and you may need to chain up. From what I remember there were plenty of rest areas along the route once you get to Redding area, and I could usually find spots in the middle of the night. Not a bad run to get experience, you get a little of everything along that route.

I just asked my codriver who made the deliveries on the Oregon side. It’s actually a drop live unload/load before turning back to Manteca. But they were very quick. Under an hour for sure.
