    Yes. Paint can be repaired to look good again but you'll never get that with vinyl. Also, removal of all the old adhesive when it needs to come off is expensive.

    I may just find a graffiti guy to do mine up like those Hirschbach trailers.

    Pretty sure @blairandgretchen wouldn't mind the inside of his shop having a different color. Just make sure his black vehicles aren't in the overspray path.

    With the Roadside Inspection Blitz next week, anyone expecting rates to take a bump? They usually do but we aren't living in usual times.

    I mean everyone whose running the trash rates are the ones who should worry about an inspection but they can't miss running for their fuel money.

    I usually book ahead these days but wonder if its worth the gamble.

    Somethings got to give. This isn’t sustainable. There’s plenty of Trucks and Loads available. I don’t think Freight will keep moving very long at these Low rates. My Friday and weekend runs fell apart. Been running all week, trying to make it happen. Booked 5 Loads for 9 days, been getting Brokers mixed up, being emailed, Tracked, texting, calling, waiting on hold, hung up on, appointments changed, you name it. Fighting for TONU right now with a Youknowwho Star Agent who’s working from home in the Ukraine, for a Triple Brokered Load that never existed, along with detention from 2 others. Move over Rodney Dangerfield. I get no respect. Alice Cooper comes to mind. No more Mr. Nice Guy. Lol
