    Glad to see someone else is making it rain with short-haul low miles freight.

    Do you need an umbrella? ;-)

    Hah! That’s funny... my first 4 wheeler was a 230 quad sport. I still have it out in my parents barn. Maybe when the boy is old enough I’ll do a carb clean and dust her off again. :)

    Yea haha ours is out back behind the garage covered up with a tarp. Those were wicked easy to pull wheelies on. It's a 1986. Still have the other quad too. Kawasaki Mojave 250. That was ahead of its time when it came out in 87. DOHC 4v liquid cooled

    Your truck washes are more of a necessity than a whim then.
    I'd say it is more like a reefer wash out...something that's needed for business.

    I spend $8000 -10 000 per year on tolls.
    Or $3000 per year on parking rent.
    Someone might say that's ridiculous but
    As long as I live in Chicago area that's sheer necessity.

    I commented just yesterday in another thread that rates have dipped a bit here in the west in the last week. I have 2 loads booked for this week that are paying the same as a single load last week, but last weeks load was paying a stupid high amount of money. Things are tightening up. Get the good loads while you can.
