    What's up with all the drop trailer loads that I see now?

    Don't be a wang and give them a cheap price if you have to sit and wait 24 or 48 hours for your trailer!

    Don't be afraid to sock it to them.

    I don’t even entertain those loads anymore. No one wants to pay me $1200 a day to have my trailer sitting around.

    I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did that. I think it was JB Hunt that tried selling me on one of those. They pay a wallopping 150 a day while you wait for your trailer to be unloaded. Not for me.

    I've never taken one of those loads and never will. My trailer stays with me at al times. I've seen how those yard dogs treat the trailers.

    I would be more concerned about a situation about the trailer not coming back to me, nobody knows what happened to it and you become detective to find it. Amazon yards stories.

    Besides, no trailer no work. In todays market you can find revenue of $1500 a day and no 24-72 hours drop trailer rates will beat it.
