I've been out of the loop for awhile, but I've just been reading that t/t company driver rates have started to climb. That is REALLY good to see.

Glad to see you back Hawk!

Did you drive into blockage, or find out some other way?

You mean we're not in recovery? Everything I'm reading says rates are up freight volumes are up.. Shippers that talk to you say it cost more to ship now than ever.
Where is it all going?

When the pie is split 3-5 ways, do the math.

Dispatch knows where im at. They told me to move east yesterday morning and I thought heck its only two days left and last night dispatch put in a offer to MI but didnt get it. Staying tonight to see if anything comes up. If not ill be calling dispatch in the morning to see if I can get something on the way east.

Common misconception. "Dispatch knows where I'm at".
Dispatch doesn't CARE where you are. Dispatch is waiting on the phone to ring and THEN seeing who's closest. That's the game when "dispatch" is covering 30 trucks per human!!

We got a nice weekend load out of Ft. Worth ( saw you post you were here also) yesterday evening about 1800 delivering Monday. This is the first time we have been anywhere in Texas in months. We kinda wrote it off. W generally do just as well when we stay out of here. The lure of miles and big pay is hard to resist but one we should try to do at certain times. Two smaller loads equals that long load and maybe no sitting !!!!
