    I wish this company's system could work that way. I wouldn't mind live load/unloads if it means I can stay hooked to a good trailer that I know how it is maintained and can avoid going on a trailer (snipe) hunt

    Used to doing that for WE 90 percent of the times in San Diego lol...usually have to strap a double stack, take them to a location a mile down, and sit and wait for authorization to write a check to get them unstacked

    I still have Jaro on my radar. Tridem covered wagons and conestogas married to your truck. Haul coils(steel and aluminum) out and ingots back to one of their customer's plants.

    Only downside I could see to that would be big waits at steel plants. Unless they have some sort of deal worked out being a dedicated hauler where they get right in and out

    That friend who had the GoFundMe account I mentioned worked for F&S and hauled aluminum and steel coils and only ever had issues if the crane took a dump.

    Went out this morning to clear out some old messages and download all the saved videos on my personal dashcam and noticed....they installed CoPilot navigation when I wasn't looking. We'll see if it makes the stupid Peoplenet even more sluggish or not...it may be uninstalled by the end of the week if it does.

    Back from the house with another beer load that will push the weight limits at almost exactly 45k in the box.

    Loads head to one of my least favorite states, California and also the furthest south I've been in Cali, San Diego.

    Yep. Or what has been more common for me is picking up a trailer that needs a washout and nowhere to do it given time restraints or location. I know that’s happened to you once or twice. An assigned trailer is easier to keep clean and/or plan around washouts.

    You've probably hauled more beer recently than I have since I came back (saying that probably just jinxed me)
