Load finally crossed and got loaded about 5pm on Sat in Laredo...delivers noon on Tues in Louisville so should be home sometime Sunday night. BTW anyone know shutdown schedule for this yr, heard rumors it's not going to be as bad as last year.

Well, moved to Laredo from McAllen for a load that was supposed to cross Friday, still waiting on the shipper to send invoice to the broker, load has been at the border since Thursday night. So tell me again why this freight is expedite? Oh I know why, they take so much time screwing off with it...

I am not partial to the rental trucks. Buy a relatively newer sprinter/transit/promaster. Also have enough money to run for 4 to 6 months so that way you can be broke in a yr instead of 3 months. Without learning this industry driving for a fleet owner, odds are against you with learning curve...

Loaded yesterday at DFW and delivered McAllen an hour ago...now waiting to see if I can get something headed back to midwest/home.

Started towards home from Birmingham as our people have not been having much luck of late...made it to Nashville around 10 pm. Dispatch calls and asks me to cover a run...going to, yes, TX again. So omw from Nashville to Sanger, TX.

2 reasons I stayed away from the diesel was the automated manual transmission and the def/dpf issues.

I have 97,500 or so on my 2016 Gas Promaster. Bought in October of 2015. So far have only had some minor issues that were corrected. And I have replaced 4 headlight bulbs...damn good at doing so now too.. 15 mins to do them.

Hmm

THANK YOU! This has become 40 pages of what if's and but if's...and you wonder why noone has to ever worry about drivers uniting. You guys will split hairs to the point where it's about your own ego and not about the subject... Please agree to disagree at some point or like OVM said...who...

Delivered 2 hours ago in Birmingham, AL. After reviewing the last 6 weeks and 2 days, even with some longer paid moves at $0.35/mile, I avg'd $0.774 per mile. Not bad at all. Add $425 for the fuel cost of my unpaid tourist miles where I drove the PCH (3 different sections at different times)...

Delivered Narrowsburg, NY this morning (stopped by home for 8 hours or so after driving from Dallas) now loading in Exeter, PA for tomorrow delivery in Birmingham, AL. 901 more loaded miles. BTW my 600 mile paid relocation from El Paso to Dallas at $.35 per mile resulted in now a total of 2,452...

Loading in 2 hours in Dallas, TX for Fri morning delivery in Narrowsburg, NY...1,551 loaded miles.

Feel free to run how you like...cut your rate and work for free if it pleases you. I won't.

Paid relocation to Dallas from El Paso.

That's OK, had an offer but they were bidding...El Paso to Anderson, SC...obviously our at cost rate wouldn't compete with these bottom rate carriers here. (Our cost is our contract rate... $.80 plus fsc)

Only problem with that is if he didn't take the move, he would have had to wait til Monday night to get a move again, and we had no one else in Dallas...I was headed there from Laredo or about to when they got me the Brownsville to El Paso run.

Previous 2 times here I got loads out of El Paso, one to Dallas, another to Laredo.

So much for getting home...d/h from Laredo to pickup in Brownsville for delivery in El Paso. Will try to deliver Sat morning but don't have to be there until Sunday morning...loaded Fri afternoon.

In Laredo now after a delivery this morning in Brownsville...let's see how long I'm here this time. Still can't get back to Midwest or home.

If the smaller it is the more it's wanted...wish that were true...
