    Unfrickinbelivable

    Thank you, I thought I was missing something here, or not doing that new math correctly, or that we were the only people seeing things this way; and don't get me wrong, we are NOT 'cherry picking' and we have turned down hardly any loads; we feel we are too new to be doing that, yet we feel...

We're in Southern Ontario, hubby has a straight truck, he's new to the biz; unfortunately he kinda jumped in without doing a lot of homework! So far, so ok though!
