Sorry to hear about your lack of loads,and low mileage. Have you talked to there coordinators for dispatch? You might even want to contact the President for a chat. It's expensive to keep jumping carriers. Are you in service most of the time and available for dispatch? Has your equipment caused you to loose out on loads because you have broke down recently? If you are trying all of these things and your a hard runner, then maybe a switch is in order. Interview other carriers the same way they do you. Be honest how long you are willing to stay out and hustle freight! Do you except most loads offered to you? Carriers tend to reward the operator that helps out when asked. Hope this helps with some of your concerns. Please keep us posted if you go to another carrier. Let us all know the good and the bad. Good luck, and keep the faith!

Clearly a time to look for another company. As with Tri-State, they will slowly come around when they lose half their fleet. It is a sad commentary, however it appears to be a growing trend. Once a company loses enough income and capital, they quickly find a need to re-invent themselves in order to capture a percentage of the new or uninformed drivers/owners. For the new folks....educate yourself as much as possible before signing on with a carrier ect.
