Howdy y'all .I noticed the freight and the economy aren't seeming any better, and I was wondering what its doing for everyone? I am now considering myself lucky to gross $1200.00 in a week. Looking for a new company? Well who do you listen to, the recruiters are all full of SH#T. ... "OH yeah we have lots of work you might sit a day here and there(if your lucky)"....Well if this is the case why did I go on a run to Alabama on a sunday,drop off monday 8 a.m. and now I hear sorry we don't have anything yet, after hearing that for 3 days I asked where is the work, their reply "well the hot spot is Ohio right now"... Finally thursday morning I decided I'd head up that way, Thursday night hits and I get a call "we got one coming out of Hopkinsville KY.", It picks up within 2 hours(I was in Indiana by now) so 150 miles later I was there it took 1hr and 55 mins at about 80MPH,Now this run is going to MN. but it can't be their till Monday at 6 a.m. ......... Does this sound familiar??????? Same story the next week get to ST.Paul monday morning sit there for 2 days and end up in Elkhart IN. to pick up a 200 mile load ...Ouch between these loaded miles I put on 2000 non paying miles (sorry they don't pay deadhead).........It hurts to much to add up how much those 2 weeks cost me so I'm not gonna........Sorry if I sound like a whiney prick but I just wondered does this just happen to me????????? Have A Good One Y'all and God Bless......Andy x( .....almost forgot where do I go to get my own ICC numbers and or authority......thanks [email protected]

The company we recently signed on with is 70 - 80% local (automotive). Last week I had two runs in two days. Both runs were ltl less than 150 miles round trip in my 24' truck for which I was paid @ $60.00 ea. (50 miles to the pick-up, 30 miles to the delivery, and 50 miles back to home). I then took a load from Detroit to St. Paul, MN. Sat there for two days and then drove back to Chicago for a small load back to Detroit. The company says that they are really busy. I cannot wait to see the slow time.
The company I am with runs about 90% automotive. It's really been up and down lately. This week's gross was $1,623,last week was $3,797,
week before that was $1,346 and week before that was $787. I run single and was home at least 1 weekend day every week.
Plus it's getting to be THAT time of the year, so I think it might get real slow soon.
