Amen brother X. If the phone is dead, go find me s load somewhere.

I am driving 500 miles without s load because there was nothing to be gained sitting in Boston when I called dispatch to get me back and the reply was - stay there, we might get a call.

And just what would you have dispatch tell you? Actively looking ?
It is not uncommon at this time of year to sit 4-5 days between loads you have to learn patience grasshopper!

It was actually a mutual agreement I agreed to let him represent my business interests and vice versa and it has worked out very well for both of us it has been to this point a good relationship

EK sold the Sprinter on eBay I watched it go just a tad more than I wanted to pay haven't heard a peep from him in over a month, Vandriver is taking some slow time off, this I know.

So I hear the structure FSC is now down to nine cents this week ?so a $.70 base rate would be $.79 a mile also and $.80 base would be $.89 a mile

My '13 E250 with the mighty *cough* 4.6 couldn't touch that with a semi blocking the wind and another one pushing me

So got a really nice shorty today from Lagrange Georgia to Anderson South Carolina. Decided to pick up some "world famous" SC peach moonshine and then in Tennessee picked up some Tennessee straight white lightning all legal of course for comparison. Should be a weekend to not remember

It's the first time I've hit that. When I bought the van the former owner was getting 13. I tuned it up and changed to K&N air filter and it jumped to 15. This 22 was a test at 63Mph.
