    Start off January with the One!

    Week number three was ok. Average week. Nothing to get excited or complain about. I'm in Michigan now waiting to deliver on Monday morning. Next week it's time to work my way south towads home. Need to be home in time for the Superbowl. I'm not cheering for either team but I am hoping for a...

    I did a high paying short run yesterday. I still can't figure out how a 150 mile run always takes up 6 hours. Ready to get off the East coast now. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    A good start to the week. Delivered on Long Island on Monday and picked up a load delivering near DC this morning. Another good paying load[emoji106] Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    Last week was a good week. This week has been really good. If I had grossed $300 more I would have called it a great week. Waiting to make my delivery Monday morning at an undislosed location on a really long island. Sent from my SM-T597V using EO Forums mobile app

    I really like that Load One has some electrified parking spots in the yard. When I have to stay overnight for a day or two in the yard it's great to be able to not idle all the time. Thanks Mr. Elliott. There are 5 straight trucks, 2 tractors and one van parked near the power poles. I am the...

    Got a load Friday to Portage, MI. Pre-planned for a round-trip today. Pre-planned for a long load on Monday. It's been a good week so far. My best of the year.[emoji16] Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    My second run took me from Rockford, IL to Jackson, MI. Nothing to get excited about and it paid ok. Hoping for a good weekend load today. Sent from my SM-T597V using EO Forums mobile app

    My first run of the year was a really good one. Orlando to Madison Wisconsin. Good rate, light freight. I'll be ready for the next one after a clean hot shower. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    Driver shortage

    If there was a driver shortage we would all be running non stop. There is a driver retention problem which will probably never be solved because of the nature of this business. Big training companies recruit meat for the seat assuming the driver will be gone within a year. Most will. Some will...

    We spent New year's Eve and New year's day ripping 30 sheets of plywood with shingles off of the back of our barn. It had a 6.5 foot overhang with no support. Over the years gravity took its toll and it looked really bad. So, we took the first sheet off plywood and will repair the edge with new...

    December at Load 1

    My first two weeks of the month were horrible. Last week was really good. I pretty much ran non stop. And Tennessee got me a load delivering in GA about 250 miles from home. So, I'm home for the holidays. I hope everyone has a great Christmas. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    December at Load 1

    I understand that there are some cherry pickers who will decline a lot of loads, waiting for the big one. But a lot of us accept most of the offers. I think I'm around 90%. Maybe that should be a factor in deciding if hours are reset? Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    December at Load 1

    I agree with FlyingVan. If it's a good load I'm going to accept it. If it's a bad load I'm going to decline it. If I lose my hours so be it. I just don't think we should lose our hours for declining a bid load unless we are going to be rewarded for accepting a bid load and then not getting it...

    Finally got a load. To Panama City, FL. It was either accept it or lose my dwell time and be number 6 in Atlanta. At least it pays well and is 200 miles from home if I can't get a miracle on Friday. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    December at Load 1

    So far an exact duplicate of last week. One load and one cancelled load. In the last 10 days my net income is $645. I guess I will have to make a decision between having electricity or Christmas this year. And this is in Atlanta. There are currently 6 straight trucks in the area. I'm number 1...

    December at Load 1

    Looks like a repeat of last week. One offer in Atlanta area today. I was number 2 and didn't get it. I'm now number 1 with 96 hours of dwell time. Looking at the app it seems everywhere in the south is dead. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    It seems there are no exceptions anymore. Decline the offer and lose the hours. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app

    Celadon Bankruptcy - 3200 Drivers Affected

    A driver in a Celadon tractor parked next to me and abandoned it. He said no fuel and no way to get it to someplace to turn it in. Sent from my moto z3 using EO Forums mobile app
