Same here the only time I leave the pavement is at the yard Lol. We're getting a load or 2 of stone dumped where we park. It's a muddy f'n mess.
Oh and some new mudflaps Lol.

Also on a side not about parking if anyone here reading this in the Kansas City area needs some parking let me know. I can hook you up with the same deal as me if you would like.RedForeman, Jubal Early Times and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
RedForeman and Siinman Thank this.

Told me he would be more than willing to do some deals with me if I wanted to get into some dedicated work. He could put some people in the trucks to help make something happen if I could not cover it myself. Good to know if I want to go after some contract freight. I may get serious this summer and see if I can do something like that. Need to see if my motivation comes back after being off these meds I was on the last year and half.RedForeman, Brettj3876 and Jubal Early Times Thank this. -
Need to find a niche that nobody else wants to do, places that nobody else wants to go, oddball ####. All we need is a place or 2 to give us a chance to prove that were worth it. We both go above and beyond with our communication, being on time and acting professional no matter how much you wanna cuss someone out. That's how we've gotten the steady moves we have now. The broker knows he can send it and forget it, it'll get there on time and not damaged
The guy down the road has a dozen trucks, a few, 3-4 brand new this year and he runs almost all spot freight. I know he has truck payments and is running this cheap freight. I was following one of his driver's a few weeks ago and saw the exit he got off and what seal was on the doors. I know where he picked up and was delivering to. We quit doing that move back in the late summer-early fall because the rate dropped way off yet here he is still moving it trying to make his payments. I know he spent a ton of money the last few years on a bunch of toys. He hasn't been in business very long and expanded quickly from oilfield money from land the family ownedMidwest Trucker, RedForeman and Siinman Thank this. -
I am the same way with any work I do. Give me a chance and I will prove to be better than who you had before. Once I get the load they have no worries on that load unless a natural disaster happens. My main broker I use always loves when I have his loads. He never bugs me and always gets updates before he needs them.Brettj3876 Thanks this. -

Well I got the first load delivered earlier today and waiting to get loaded to go back to MO.
First load was two drops one in AR and second in TX. From MO to AR I got 7.7 MPGS with about 17K in the trailer. Second drop from AR to TX was about 10K and got 7.9 MPGS. Both drives was going through decent head wind and I felt like the truck handled a little smoother with the trailer aero added.
Hopefully that wind is still doing the same thing on the way back. I should get great MPG's if that is the case. It is a 2 drop load as well bit basically a few miles away from each other.
Once I get back I am gonna stop and finish up my taxes. I am sure it will take close to a week to get them done since I don't get to motivated do them. I need to get caught up on a lot of paperwork as well so it will be nothing but paperwork for a week. I sure like driving more!
