3 loads total in 3 weeks now, 600 miles last week, 112 this week...and have been first out in 100 mile radius of Dayton, OH...is it THIS slow, or is my company that optimistic about the rates they are bidding?

OK, it is slow, but not that slow! I talk to some dispatchers and they acknowledge how sharp and low they need to bid. Others seem oblivious to the situation.
