    No, they've never given me a problem. I've cancelled a few a day or more in advance, but just one on the same day. I'm still active and can book any time. Even if they did keep tabs I really wouldn't care. They've screwed me out of detention a few times, and their customer service sucks compared to Convoy. If they were more professional I would have some loyalty, but they don't really care about drivers at all.

    I was at the shipper yesterday for 6.5 hours. Got 4.5 hrs of detention for an extra $225 added to the base rate of $2700.

    All in all, $2925 for 598 miles isn't too bad. Another surprise was the tender showed 44k lbs, it's only 14k lbs.

    I was able to make it home. Will leave out a little later to deliver. Who knows maybe the receiver will hold me up a few hrs too and I can get some more coin on the load ;-)

    This won't last. However, March is turning out to be my best March yet, which I'm tremendously grateful for.

    I don't want a hand out from the government, I just want to work.

    Amen, I just had the best March I've had as well and spent 5 days at the beach. I had a $5k repair bill last month so it's not a what comes up must come down, it's a what already went down finally came up!
