I guess you never know, I hope you get a good load out, maybe one that makes that marginal load look bad.

Since you asked: This week has been a bit of a slopfest. The first run, Friday evening (anything after 5PM on Friday counts on the following week) wasn't bad, from Wooddale Illinois to London, Ohio. After that, though, it's been three runs each one hundred miles. This is the check I was hoping would at least cover the rent, it's going to fall a bit shy of that now. One thing brings it up slightly, and that's that I had waiting time on the first of the three "hundred milers".
However--- no breakdowns, so I reckon I can't complain too bad. I'm remembering a weekend last July where I made 950.00 on that weekend--- then lost three times that on the breakdown. So, I guess I'm ahead at the moment.

This week was average for us. Last week equaled 50% of what we normally see in a good MONTH! Long weekend in New England, rented a car, going to do the "tourist bit". Then a Monday pickup near Boston heading for Memphis. GOOD paying run. Almost makes the week for us!

Good words. And it only takes another load to get you moving again, which we got dispatched on today; a good one.

Wow you must really be hungry. Even if that is .70 plus a small fsc. Time to hold out for them sprinter loads. Work for yourself not them.
Have one truck that's been in WA all week..back and forth between Seattle & Spokane a couple of times but nothing to get headed back east; San Antonio may be bad, Seattle seems worse, but could be the luck of the draw.
And another truck in Hammond, LA...so, WA/OR or this one, neither a hotbed from what I see. BUT, always optimistic (not always, but trying, anyway).

I'll call ya in a bit. Missed your call. Trying to finish up three more phone call tasks off of my work to do list and then i'll be free to talk!
I think bigger companies who refuse to let their cargo vans partner up with other carriers should pay dentention pay when they can't keep the truck busy!
DH outa OZ to OH so CBCO DVR could go to Class. On the boards since Friday. No Load since Tue In OZ. Dispatch whats for Supper Im Starving.

my aunt hit a cow with her mercedes.Killed the cow,totaled her car .Farmer sued my uncle,cow was in the road,but ohio has open range law,instead of farmer being responsible for keeping cow in pasture,aunt was responsible to not hit the cow
Wait - what? Ohio law requires dog owners to maintain control of their pet, but not cows?! That's asinine!!
