    Thanks for a wonderful read, DY. I learned quite a bit and had several concepts and work approaches confirmed.

    I look forward to hearing more about your adventures.

    Thread seems to have slowed down, but I read all 54 pages in two days. Awesome stuff. Granted I'm Canadian so a lot of the tax deals won't apply for me, as well as other things, but I srill gleaned a lot of info.

    Hope the market has picked up DY, hope the truck is still rollin on!

    Still rolling along nicely. Rates aren't what they were last year, but my efforts to keep costs low have helped offset that.

    Trying to find the balance between sitting around all week on the phone & computer trying to book a great paying load vs running the wheels off taking ABC loads that pay adequately. At the end of the week, both seem to have a similar effect on my bank balance, but I do enjoy driving so much more than sitting...

    Would sitting and finding a better paying load be easier on maintenance than doing three or four mediocre loads?
