Chicago has been odd. When with panther I sat no longer than 18 hours any time or day before getting a load and now it seems to of dried up like a old creek.

It was normally a very good city for outbound in the past. Just seems to be off to a slow start this year. But again, only on small units?

Your a little behind the news...chef got outta there on Saturday....LOL

Chef posted his status at 4:25 am this morning, Mr. Moderator...lol..They got him and Cuz out so far, I'm #1 now, real impressive for a Monday, beginning of the month.It may be difficult for others that come here from other companies,The previous company may of kept the driver moving more because of cheaper rates.We may sit a little more, but our overall total profit is far more greater, with less work involved.A win-win situation.

Taxes are done.....that one's gonna leave a mark :(

I'm not having any luck getting anybody to do anything here. I've got a couple of things to do tomorrow and the rooftop a/c might be in wed so I need to go pick that up. If I don't at least have an indication that this guy is going to work on the installation this week, I may try to get in service before Friday in hopes of snagging something for the long weekend.
