    With those kind of rates it sounds like he's a card carrying member of the white Volvo mafia. I think I read the same complaints he did from some whiney ### brokers about the euro mafia. Was laughing about it with a mafia member yesterday. Really makes me feel cheap lol. Gives me motivation for today and tomorrow. Hats off to the euro mafia good job. Haha!!

    Month ended well with 9572 and 19878 in revenue. Almost hit 20k. The holiday has given me a good opportunity to start strong in July. I'm booked through mid day Thursday ending up at my honey hole in Ohio at 2.23 a mile all miles.

    TQL has a bad rep but after hauling several loads for them, they've been pretty good. Decent rates and easy to deal with.

    That is crazy, $600. Those lying brokers, the Memphis market was on fire Thursday and Friday. I scored a 519 mile load for $4700.

    Did I mention I Love Fireworks!!!!!

    I've been having a string of bad luck the past 2 weeks. Waiting on my second flat tire repair, starter went out on the reefer, APU freon line split in two, and I've racked up several hundred dollars in detention charges. Luckily I caught the flat tire issues before driving on them. Not sure where I'm picking up bolts from. Still making progress but these issues keep coming up and slowing me down

    Pressing on through these minor annoyances, July is starting off with a bang. Setup through Tuesday with an early delivery, all miles 2.53 per mile and 2846 total miles. Ohio continues to treat me very well. I've got a 4 stop NJ milk run for Saturday out of OH for big money, reload nearby back to OH for a reasonable rate, then OH to MD for big money again. I did the same milk run recently and it's not a bad run at all, made even easier delivering on a Saturday.

    If you don't mind me asking, what are you getting per mile on the OH to NJ run?, that's considered good money.

    This one pays 3.47 all miles and the one pick one drop to MD pays 3.23. The last milk run I had paid just a little less as it had 3 drops instead of four. They're easy drops.

    That's a solid rate even if it is going east.

    I can usually get back to OH on a reefer run and make 1.55 - 1.60 all miles back. If the load isn't there I'll go down to VA or the northern tip of NC and then back to OH and can get a little higher rate back of 1.65 - 1.77 a mile and keep my average at 2.30 a mile or higher running East and back to OH. I was going to run South but the guy that has the loads I want didn't have any so I figured I'd run East again and when I get back maybe he'll have it. Puts me in a good area to work my way back to Northwest Arkansas at a good rate instead of running something cheap back over there.
