Still in Laredo. Tired of deadheading (2500 of dh during last time out), but hate sitting even worse. Cannot/will not repeat what Todd endured (26 days). What should I do?

Simple. Either stop taking loads to Laredo, or build enough into your run there to be able to run back empty to a productive spot.

This is my first time here. I have the $ to deadhead, I'm just tired of doing it. Besides, I didn't think Laredo would be THIS dead.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I'd rather pull one of my own teeth than sit another 21 days in Laredo.

Who and why would anyone sit for 26 days? I'm in Saginaw,mi right now for 12hours and pulling my hair!

How could anyone afford to sit 26 days without any income? It costs money just to sit, plus after 2-3 days I'd DH the heck out of there. Every time I've ever been stuck in Laredo, I DH over to Houston and have always gotten out within 24 hours.
