    A few mos ago trucks were abundant. Not now. The dealership where I do business has ONE new truck for sale and ZERO used inventory. 2 mos ago their lot was full of trucks.

    I thought so but wasn't sure. The load is only 15 totes weighing in a 44'780. So if they get rid of one row of doubles and have it singled out it should be darn near perfect on drives/trl

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest a lot of these trucks have been purchased by folks leveraging those low interest longterm EIDL loans.

    Had a 0300 delivery appt today. Showed up at facility at 0245.

    Checked in, assigned dock, backed in and set the brakes at 0300. At 0320 received empty green light.

    I guess miracles are still happening today, or they just really needed what I had ;-)

    Working at these wee hours is a hard work in my book too! It must have been ALDI DC delivery.

    When they $3,500 on 775 easy miles, I have no problem with a 0300 delivery appt. I'm docked now on my next load which is going right to my hometown.

    I have no clue what you're saying. You must have replied to a wrong thread.
