    That would make a great truck cat. Nothing could go wrong.

    Would be new ..... but unsure about the drop and hook % at landstar.....

    If the wife gets better I’ll probably stay around here and buy a new dump trailer. And if the wife doesn’t get better I’m all done.......

    If she dies all bets are off ..... new truck, trailer and new adventure time. That’s driving the sni/landstar research.

    Landstar said today on their load board demo the fleet average is like $1.70 for box and $2.30 for flats........

    Rates are higher than they say. That might be all that's posted. I'm in southern georgia. I'll probably get $3 a mile including deadhead to the Midwest 35k pounds. Our open decked sucked a bit and turned in the step trailer.

    Volvo hell is nearing a culmination. I had a minor snafu at N.M. POE safety dude called me and got a little snarky( not his first time) so I sent a message to the ops manager terminating my employment. Brighter days are on the horizon. I will walk ditches and pick up bottles before I ever drive a Volvo again.
