Sounds like fun, let us know what you learned!On the way home from Pilot, I noticed the local corner used car lot has 5 Sprinters now. Been pretty rare to see any for sale around home. May have to stop in and check them out for grins and giggles. Although, I 'll probably leave laughing after seeing the prices
Loaded..... McAllen , Tx. to Lake Orion , Mi.....

Yep, had to move myself from Detroit too. Nothing, or should I say, nothing good was up there.

I have a buddy that works for your ex carrier. He seems to be doing just fine out of NC. Always gets a load out within 24 hrs.
Maybe you need to change carriers. LolYep, had to move myself from Detroit too. Nothing, or should I say, nothing good was up there.

You guys keep on looking for those long ones or leaving. I've been getting stupid money on short loads around Michigan. I'll take them every day.Yep, had to move myself from Detroit too. Nothing, or should I say, nothing good was up there.

Think I'm going to sound like OVM but changing carrier is not a magic pill. Lot of talk yesterday about cost of being with one carrier different from another business model. The day before there was the ever popular rate discussion. And, Mark made a very pithy but accurate reply to one of our Eastern European friends. The funny thing about many of what I read from y'all about carriers is some people have good experience with a carrier, and others bad with the same carrier which can only mean it's not the carrier, it's how the O/O runs his/her business. I am in NO WAY suggesting that I have an answer or that I am doing better than someone else. Just offering the thought that changing carriers, like changing jobs, is and should be done to match your business model with a carrier for fit and happiness, not the expectation of more miles or more CPM.

Thinking this is a generally directed statement I'll agree with your statement . I will add that everyone has to "fit" where they are going ! Round hole doesn't fit in a square block without a lot of collateral damage ! I hate moving carriers it's a nightmare , I loose a
ton of money and time but sometimes a mans gotta do what a mans gotta do ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Oh gosh yes, this is a VERY general observation and not directed at anyone, and, your added comments are 100% spot on

Oh sure, now you tell Me!
I'll be in New Joisey visiting my 90 y.o. aunt. She is my late mom's (raggranny) sister. I have been very close to her my entire life.
Rockaway.
Headed north to torment the kids and grand kids, leaving out of Seattle on the 28th.
"2 week model change over in July"?

That shut down is for the automakers runs. They retool for new model year. However, that doesn't mean you will not get a load to them. I've run through July and got more going to the auto plants for contractors, than when they were making Auto's.
Now July 4th no one will be working. But, you can still get a run dropping off on the 5th.

Market is such that we can't predict anything anymore. It's pure luck to anyone anywhere nowadays.
