I'm certainly no expert ..... but I remember reading a post (or posts) on EO that one should give a new carrier 2 to 3 months before making any decision to jump ship.

A little better than a month ago things slowed down a little for me and I started getting nervous ...... and thinking ..... "What if I went with ......"

Last week I ran the most loads I ever have in a single week (wasn't the highest paying week because overall they were shorter runs) and this week started off on Sunday (the first day of our week) with a load with decent miles that had the highest per mile revenue I've ever done. And I have ran every day since ...... if it keeps up (knock on wood) this will end up being a very good week for me.

Point is, things can and do turn around in a heartbeat. FWIW.

I don't think there isn't a one of us who hasn't second guessed themselves when thing don't go exactly as planned!
Your not alone...as relent said today you can have 0 dollars and in 3 days you have mucho bucks. Your fortune can turn on a dime...give it time and look at the big picture.

Relent:
I do understand what you are saying. However I think the size of PII and the lack of the person to person atmosphere is what got to me. I am country come to town. I want to talk to people to understand what they want and need for me to help them help me. I got none of that at PII. I just felt like a minnow in a shark tank. If I had given them 2 to 3 months at the rate I was going everything I have saved over the years would have been in jeapordy. I will take my chances with a smaller carrier. I do however appreciate your input as well as everyone's as I try to convert from flat beddin to expediting.
Stay safe!
