    Yeah and that was said to someone that can't take off 2 years and not skip a beat. I'm not worried in the slightest

    Things are good. Thanks for asking.

    The rumor is that I'm getting bumped off my bid, but there are other opportunities that I like available to me.

    Hell, I might even take one where I make some money.

    I’m loving the short runs...all I see is money! I’ve had 2 weeks in a row like this:

    C78A0CD3-04FD-49FB-8885-1EBFB879E8E0.png

    The dispatchers are getting very creative to get freight to where it needs to go at the various barns around my city. Almost feel like a P&D driver with all the stops I’m doing. And still managed to put in around 15ish hours on the dock between all that.

    I'm thinking of going extra board when we finally get to bid, what's everyone's thoughts?

    I'm currently on a bid with 380~ miles a day with 2-4 drops and hooks.

    I know quite a few guys on the board doing 3k plus weeks.

    Depends on do you want to be home everyday like a normal dude. Or you don’t mind being out running where ever sleeping in hotels.


    Plus side. Your out west. What’s worst you can see. Denver? Going to suck in winter time.

    I still see ton of that salt lake transportation pulling Estes out west. Even slow times I think you will run better than them guys out East will.
