    May Be Loads 4 You & Banter

    Ah, spelling doesn't matter. That is a nice location for a layover. Problem is .. chances of getting woken up in the middle of the night & booted off the front lot are more than 50/50.

    Loads going cheap lately?

    Whenever I hear these wildly stupid numbers, I always remind myself this behavior is the exception NOT the norm. People that run for these rates are fish food! Capital S on their chests for SUCKERS!

    Loads going cheap lately?

    Your cost per mi is accurate. You're assuming that cheaper rates will guarantee you attaining loads. They most certainly will not! I got a C-Note says loads were booked out of Dallas for more than .70 cents per mi. What cheaper rates will guarantee is your exit from this business! Rhetorical...

    These lessons are hard to learn but you HAVE to get a great rate going into the abyss. If not, simply pass on the load. Once you factor in empty/DH miles, it could be a 2,500+ mi trip at a loss! If I may ask, what company are you with? You basically have three options: 1. DH out. As...

    Idk .... I personally wouldn't use gunk engine cleaner on any exterior surfaces. I've used it to clean & decrease engine parts. I think it's too corrosive on exterior components, especially anything containing rubber ... bumpers, side mirrors, etc ... Side note: I've never used a single drop of...

    I'm not sticking up for brokers but I'm just curious ... If they do absolutely nothing then why do you pay them any money? Why don't you broker loads yourself?

    So the NYG basically wanted a white, non threatening quarterback to sit behind Eli for a year or two ... while Eli finishes out his career. Instead of picking up Dwayne Haskins. It sucks when a team in your own division is gonna beat you, repeatedly, with a pick you passed on in the draft.
