Yeah, those TX to UT and MT loads pop fairly often. TX has gotten bad enough. To go from TX to UT??? Not!!!!

Yeah, can't figure out WV. I always think...."Hey, WV, let's add a $100". Rarely works. I guess there's just way too many desperate trucks out there. Opinions? Now, northern WV and if it's 1004 or 1005??? Yes!!! Almost a home run!!

Never seen that. But I used to have a 450#+ semi driver that used an a-frame ladder to get in and out of his cabover International. Literally. He would pull this 6' orange ladder out across his lap and make it happen. Jack was an amazing human. Very loving to everyone he ever met. I've never...

Operative words. Used to. Houston has been tough fishing lately. Used to be fish in a barrel. Loads can be had but I'm not sure the rates coming out are worth doing sometimes. We couldn't find the bottom this week in Houston. And it didn't seem to be going the right ways plenty. A wise man...

You know, OVM has a strobe light and alarm that goes off every time the letters O, V & M are used in that order. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM. OVM.

It's Friday close to the IL/IA line. They should get out today. Thanks though!!!! Bill & Carolee seem like great peeps! Would probably be good guests!

Our team is in Davenport. Your snow need shoveling? ;)

LOL!! Don't pick on him while he's sleeping!! That's mean!

Very cool! Like! :)

Early on, I invested in a couple of 27' straps from Lowe's for exactly that reason. We were pulling a crate containing an airplane wing with no way to grab it. At only 750# it could be "steered" once a strap was slung all the way down and back the length, and hooked to the lift. I ended up using...

Ya. That too. Until loads are up. Half the loads and twice the sitting trucks is a rough combo.

Swearing off of TX. Again. For real this time. Again. I think. Ugh. At least in January. Someone quote me. At least 5 or 10 of you should "like" this post. You know who you are. ;)

We don't pay ours less than $150-$159.20 unless they like the move on the front end. But for a guy that's used to the crazy Chicago traffic and knows how to get around there, wouldn't you gladly do about 10 of those $65 locals a day???

LOL!! No. And just for the record Bob, you aren't alone down there. :)

Houston is the new Dallas. Dallas is the new Laredo. Out of curiosity, asked a broker what a load from Houston to SD went for. 80 cpm total rate. LOL!! Now, if OVM was in Houston, maybe. But wow!!

Yep!! ALL the pencils are sharp this morning!! Board a bit light this week. Gotta flip the script again. Whatever that means!

Bill would have been on that load if he could fit it. 5 stackables was a bid big for his van. At least his current van. ;)

How many times did my name come up?! LOL!!

Sorry, playing catch up. Yes, recent fuel drops have affected the average rate many of the loads "go for". That said, much of the time that usually only affects the profit margin we enjoy. We try to not let it affect the truck's pay until the rate gets too low to not adjust. Lately it has...

Yes!! LOL!!
