    We should all share a spreadsheet on a google drive so everyone has the info on customers. Would help everyone out. If any of you guys are interested in doing that speak up.

    good idea, Ive been taking notes already, but Im not a choice driver yet. Not sure about giving my fuel hauling job up, despite the layoff for a month. I'll be going to 19.75 an hour in the next few months.

    Seriously though a spreadsheet would be pretty neat. There are plenty of places I see loads to but that I just have no idea whether they are worth running to or not.

    Call your ICA and ask. I call my gal when I see a load I am unsure about and there have been many times she has steered me clear of it, Here in Dallas Tx she said stay away from Home Depot, Amazon, and Nestle water during the summer months,this is just a few examples.

    Stay away from anything heavy. Heavy usually mean cheap and long lines to load you.

    540 miles today. From San Antonio to El Paso. Wicked wind today. For 400 miles winds were sustained at 20 mph with gusts much higher. Felt like the truck was on the ocean, so much rocking. My fuel mileage dropped from 7.4 to 5.5. Last 140 miles I got it back up to 6.0. 460 miles left tomorrow for a 7 pm live unload at amazon.com. Then I snagged a load to LA to go home for a few days. Figured after five weeks should go visit the wife....

    After we book the loads..... I'm building a spreadsheet with all the info. If we all did it could be beneficial.
