    Maybe she just needs some attention. Some "thank" clicks...;)
    Other than that I don't understand what the significance of that is to be even posted here.
    An Oregon Governor's daughter?

    3.0 coming to TTR soon? lol

    Well, I hired 2 drivers in the last 3 days. Woot woot! Just 1 more spot to fill. That’s more hires then the last 2 months so I’m stoked. Maybe it’ll pay off increasing pay.

    Went to 60 cents per mile with a $1500 guarantee. Most drivers will be between 1700 and 1900 per week. I never thought pay would get that high but having trucks sit doesn’t make any money.

    The worst part is u never talk to a human. U have to wait for them to put the bills in the mailbox. Everytime i went there i would spend the night at the truck stop down the street and pickup next morning about 14 hours after my trailer was supposed to be ready.... Now this was with swift . And it was dry van backhauls to get me home to arizona. I cannot deal with that. That is why i like flatbed.

    $2.10 mile. Yep. You the man all right.

    That's $2.10 to a BCO. So maybe $1.85 for the BIG MONSTER MONEY CENTRAL POINT HAULERS.

    Loads all over the U.S. = Denver lol.

    Never been there, don't intend to either.

    Maybe I'll try that MasterBrand cabinet manufacturer in Grants Pass. I went by there the other day and there were quite a few Landstar trailers dropped in there.

    Landstar is where it's at I've read. Big money with those folks. Stock value is going up, up and away!

    If you can smooze your way in with those guys, do some good arse licking, you're in the club, so I've heard.

    Until you're not, and then start looking to run with your own numbers.

    Nah, that's alright. I'll just keep running my shorthaul van loads here in S. Oregon with my numbers and equipment.

    That's how REAL owner operators do it!

    LOL LOL LOL LOL

    That's last week after overhead. And the thing is, it's not some made up BS just posted on a spreadsheet.

    Everyone knows that's the comdata app.

    Gotta share my ravioli with the cat now.
