    I know how you feel. I always take pics right where I drop the trailer on all 4 sides making sure the building is in sight in at least one of the pics. And just in case we have trackers on both

    They're worth it sometimes with a dry van. Before I sold mine a couple of years ago I would book them on occasion. Target DC's mostly. I wouldn't do it with a reefer but dry van or flat, yeah, if the money was over the top. In my scenarios they never called me back for more business. But when they called me in the first place it was out of the blue so no real loss anyway lol

    You know honestly as out of control as inflation is... it’s made me feel uneasy lately. If your not absolutely killing it then your falling behind IMO.

    Saw something today that I have never seen before. I was getting ready to pass a trailer and it had an ad on the back for hiring drivers. Then as I started to come around it, the sign changed. It was a LED digital electronic flat screen with scrolling ads. Oh the trouble I could get into if I had one of those on the back of my trailer.

    I know right?

    Too bad there are thousands of new trucks and trailers available so new people can jump in the business. I guess it's up to us to keep the industry going until then. :)

    $9500 on 2650 miles this week and July will be really close to a $35,000 month....after a $28000 June. Definitely helping make up for being down all of April for overhaul.
