    I don't know how they can haul for cheap. I spent 10K on repairs recently, 2 weeks out of work. Lost one broker in the meantime.

    I sill own 12K plus my school loan about 6K. Though I haven't been paying toward my school loan. Sleepy Joe promised to write it off. So, I'm hopeful. LOL
    I was hopeful to pay off my mortgage in a few years. But how things are now, it is going to be slow. My son starts college in two months. That will cost some...
    No new patio this year as I hoped. No new bathroom neither.
    We can play some salsa music and pretend everything is good. Let's not forget there are others who have it worse than us.

    Or some cha cha dance... lol

    I think the music has stopped and people are desperately trying to find a seat to sit on. Unfortunately, quite a few are going to be left standing holding the hot potato.

    Can reefer drivers make it on short hauls?
    Every pick up, delivery & wash out blows an entire day by itself without any driving

    Those of you who obsess over those who have been out of the game for a year + it seems would be time better spent dialing in ones own operation.

    Well I just bought another truck, my newest, and adding a new BCO apprentice with it. So there is that.
