    Not true. Same expenses as the prostars surprisingly. It's all on the year. Had a 2014 prostar that was 614/week and the 2017 Pete is 674.99/week.

    We are a non force dispatch. I usually don't run anything less than 500 and no more than 1200. Prefer 500-1000. Only will take 10001-1200 miles if I have something good on the next load or if I'm getting out of a #### area

    It's crazy working for nothing like that. $1200 to $1400 a week jobs with benefits aren't that hard to find where you live. image.jpeg image.jpeg image.jpeg

    Back to making money again. Pretty happy so far. One day at a time that's for sure.

    Yes, and on top of that, the logistics of a lot of freight is timed to deliver within the hours of service so imagine not being able to take a comfortable restaurant meal between your trips because the #### 14 hr elog is ticking.

    Since coming back out with the new DM, last 3 weeks have been pretty good. Still trying to fall into the routine again but I'm sitting at home right now. Had to come home for personal reasons and will be back out tomorrow- dragging ### of course lol
