    For sure gonna have to bring the new Meme game.
    I have seen a lot lower this week as well. Took me a few days to find something worth going out on but to a #### area. So will hopefully do a couple small trips or one cheap trip back home to start over.

    I figure by winter time It will be covid numbers again and gonna be one hell of a time to survive. They may just get lucky and get out before it bottoms out. Hopefully we can last long enough to make it to next Sumer 2 dollar a mile super sale. Ha ha

    So u booked the big money chain loads but didn't chain up lol . I'm not sure there's really a market for that but maybe there is some rhyme and reason to it. All I know is i got paid the same whether we had to chain up or not

    Its required to carry chains up there even if you dont have to use them.
    many dont have it nor will take any load to possible bad weather areas.

    Many brokers have told me they struggle to get trucks to go to cold mountain areas during winter.

    I was up there everyday from late 2019 to nov 2021.. I will agree you can make more money chasing some storms on spot market. But all the local work we did paid the same in the winter as it did in the summer.
