I dh'd to Chicago from Seattle in February. Still made a 1200 in clean profit....I'd loose my mind sitting in one spot for more than few days

That was on a load from Wisconsin to Seattle, which I ran direct in 35 hours..don't ask how..then waited 2 days and drove home

Seattle is tough. I usually give it 2 days then off to either Denver or LA. Hope you get something soon.

My monthly operating cost is very cheap... I'm about to sell my Sprinter and get a bigger one. Problem is I have a 140 Sprinter and on with a smaller carrier. In order to be successful I need new carrier and larger truck. I have one other driver right now so the focus is on that truck. We can sort this one out later after its sold.

I know not to come up here again for business! Erasing this state off the map when it comes to loads. If your carrier doesn't do empty moves or good at West Coast freight it is not advisable to come up here. Denver is only 600 miles to KC making Colorado more accessible for business. If you want to know what my rate is going into Seattle, it is now $2 dollars a mile. :)

Still sitting in the Knoxville area.

Seriously, how can there be ZERO loads out of Knox Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday...?

I'll take anything. Just need to run.

Turns out my power steering leak is the steering box. Makes lady weeks runs a wash.

Is it in the shop now? If it's a seal at the box you NEED to try adding the Lucas PS conditioner and leak repair stuff. I had a leak that was hard to find, added about 1/2 a bottle and it stopped completely. It will NOT fix a pressure line leak but it will most likely fix about any seal or gasket leaks that are from aged rubber. It softens the seals and makes them expand back into place.
