Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

Yeah...ELD and Loadboards too. Mine are $450 per week. I could only defer trailer payments for 90 days. Insurance... maybe but only when the truck is committed to being parked cold.

 

I went to visit the House on the Rock in Wisconsin last Summer. What a fantastic place!
The music was playing...very wicked music...
I think that during my visit there, I was able to see this phenomenon we have now...somehow.

 

Thanks for sharing this. I had not thought to ask. Just found out my insurance is doing an automatic 15% for May and June, not sooner unfortunately. It's a big company and a pain to get in touch with a real person. I was hoping to give them a sob story about how I'm an out of work trucker with starving children and not able to afford gas to drive so we need a 100% rate reduction for 6-8 months. Dang.

 

I shall haul freight ... I am booked until Thursday. I am afraid the freight to be hauled by me is cheap. I will haul it. I will see how it works out. I will take time and use US 30 all the way to PA and the same way back...I will then go West and end up in Colorado. I like Colorado...bunch of farms in prisons on I-70...with the right music on, empty roads, you can get yourself into this tranquilized mood for hours. I miss it...I miss it.

 

That was my plan as well. Insurance re-ups June 1 for me, paid until then. I was planning on using the productive months of March-June to be ready to pay a full year and still go on summer vacation. What's that saying about best laid plans?

 

I'm having road withdraw. Sitting at home looking for things that need to be done is boring. I think I've watched everything on the internet. Even my favorite old classic movies don't look appealing any more. My wife is gone for a week visiting her mother, so at least I don't have to feel guilty for sitting around while she looks at me and rolls her eyes. At least my dogs appreciate the company.

 

You and me both Steve. I have this thing where I just can't get motivated on rainy/cloudy days. That's all we've got lately. As soon as the sun shines I'm gonna build a shelf for my toaster oven in truck, add some LED back up lights, pressure wash the house, paint the house, redeck the deck, walk the dog, take a bath, maybe eat. Soon......
