    What difference does it make how or where I choose to work or run as an owner operator?

    This is where I live and choose to work. I enjoy being home with my family and own surroundings as much as I can. Which is what I concentrate on doing.

    If I'm profitable doing it without having to work my arse off every week doing it, that's a good thing.

    You know, I was going to post that news a couple of days ago, however, figured I'd better not seeing how the original thread was moved into the political section because it turned into political "bantering", I guess.

    It don’t matter.... I used to work with a guy and that was his favorite saying. His explanation was that,if it makes no difference at the end of the day, then “it don’t matter”

    My UT ro TX load was canceled. So, consequently I had to cancel TX - WI load too.
    That's OK.
    I found another one to Minneapolis area $3300 but I need to DH to ID 185 miles. Then I was able to procure another From MN to Boston, MA area $4675.
    FYI this lane was paying no more than $3500 in pre C-19 time.
    I will have a luxury to spend a night at home en route on Monday.
    On Tuesday, I will run out of 70 and after Midnight I'll start recapping: 11 hours from this week Tue and 11.5 from Wed. It should be more than enough.
    I think I deserve to pat myself on the back for not slacking off.
    I would give myself a thank you click too, if I could. Unfortunately, the way this website is designed, the members cannot thank themselves:(

    Thank you for your thank you but I refuse to buy thank yous with money. They have to be sincere...and not corrupted.
