    Nobody wants to go to Tampa, or Fresno...

    This is true, but the rate was good enough that it paid for DH to load and back out towards Atlanta.

    Used to get a lot of Chip loads out of Kathleen GA back to Memphis, used to have a good rate, though depending on which side of the same building you unloaded meant the difference of 30 minutes unload, or with the grouchy lady 4 hour unload.

    As of today my truck and trailer are both paid off. Gonna make it a little harder to get myself motivated to get back out.

    We got here half an hour before they opened, 1 guy in dock, 1 waiting in street. Already planning today as a loss, so have Mike getting his 34, and I'll start us towards GA when we unload. As soon as his 34 finishes I'll be going off duty, and we'll complete a rolling 34 on way to next load. Have a couple we are looking at for tomorrow, just waiting on brokers.

    Congratulations, what was your beginning amount and how long did it take?

    It shouldn’t.
    Now is when your time comes into play, you can put a little money back as no 1000$ truck payment per month and no 750$ trailer payment.

    This one was a LP thru Lone Mountian, it was actually the best deal I could find. Dealers with conventional loans wanted a lot more for simular trucks once interest was factored. All in it was $62,800 over 42 months.

    I know what you mean, this is the second time I've done this, but the older I get the lazier I get plus moving to Tennessee money goes a lot farther round these parts than the commie east annex.
