Well, happy to report that I am starting another chapter on Monday.. well, just turning the page on this one LOL.. I get my new van number on Monday morn. I've been running this Sprinter "My Way" for a few months, but the contract has still been in the previous owner's name as I made him payments plus a small percentage. My honey and I are heading up Sunday night to hand over the last 3 payments in person, (ahead of schedule)and after a little paperwork Monday morn, new van number :)

I came over here to Load 1 a year and 2 weeks ago..just about broke, and ready to give up on expediting. Thanks to Steve Wolfe talking me into trying this company, even with the slow times... a year later, I've got a few bucks in my pocket, and as of Monday, a paid off van.

That says something about this place I think :)

Thanks to all who listened to my dumb questions about Sprinters, and gave me good advice about how to run here!

I just think sometimes we need to give dispatch time to do their thing, and not panic so easily.Have the faith in them. Both of our last years numbers were real close, but if I recall, my total mile pay was alot higher than yours, I think because I don't move around as much. I don't ask for relocation pay, at all. Just a personal preference. The way I look at it, I did a smaller size load yesterday. For me to move to a better area with less trucks in that area would just take away from the minimal profit of that smaller size run, and in the end, it could end up with me doing that run for nothing because of the extra added cost of moving around.So I stay put, for the most part.Sometimes this works, and sometimes it doesn't. But with last years numbers being as good as they were, I am going to say this is working. We all have our own way of doing business.

As I told you on the phone, I sensed a little humor in that post....but, I'd thought I would just post what I did for those who didnt se the humor in youre humourous post....lol..

Did a few 19's since moving northward, taking OVM and Rocketmans sound advice, and have not got a response back yet, even though fleetvision shows me in service in the new location.

Dispatch called me to see where I was and told me to call in my POD because they were having satellite problems.
