    Some of the VolvoKrap I would see going around Chicago a couple times a week was unbelievable.

    How they don’t get pulled in for constant inspections is what baffles me.
     
    SteveScott Thanks this.

    Received some plant load offers today. Are these considered good prices for REEFER plant loads?

    Looks like the bottom half is LTL.

    I just did 2100 miles in the rain. It probably was not raining for maybe 2 hours of my 4.5 day run. Came home and had a 2 hour nap this afternoon. Time for libations.

    Oh, the money was pretty good, just under $2 all miles.

    What I have had is offers. I spent almost no time on the boards this week. Email and phone blew up constantly. I probably had 8 or more phone offers for next Tuesday after I was already booked, a few for significantly more money but I can't do my Tuesday customer wrong. They've been good to me.

    Maybe I'm gaining some traction here.

    Yeah, they're all full TL. Some are multi-drops. I did some of those for May Trucking when I first started driving truck back in 2009. Man, lemme tell ya, some of those loads really suck balls.

    That was my settlement yesterday. Just my truck not the others.

    Can't wait for rates to pick back up.

    The number on the left was my overhead, comp,BT insurance, blah.
