Instant O/O and Load boards

I take it he stuck with the super 10 rather than the straight 10 you guys wanted to put in there.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was the not-so-super ten.

 

thank you eskimo,and yes your right in everything you have said, im a terrible looser eskimo,and hate being beat,so alot of what im saying is out of frustration,,,,i truely loved being out there,,and even when the odds are again you and i could still find time to enjoy my truck, i enjoyed crawling under that old girl everyweekend greaseing checking for things that might need fixed or just alittle speacial attention,,,,i spent alot of time cleaning and tweaking things to be able to go on the road the way i did,and yes im very proud of it, it ment alot to me when i got my level 3 in virgina that inspector from dot was impressed with that truck being a 1997, and the shape it was in,,,,in that aspect i was very proud,and still am ,,and eskimo i dont take it personal,you are right in what you are saying,as far as the numbers, it think alot of what im saying comes down to plan old simple pride,,,that truck might not have been mine out right,but i took care of it like it was,it might take me another year but if things work out i will be back out there witha truck thats 100% mine and no payments,,i just have to wait and see how things work out,,but eskimo its guys like your self that exsplain the numbers that i have learned from,,add i know you were picking but thats ok, lol sometimes iv got to get hit in the head 2-300 times befor my ####### figures it out,,so thanks for the lesson and the advice

 

some times we have to be man enough to admitt when were wrong

 

Hey Dino - don't knock yourself around buddy - your truck deal flopped and you held your end anyway and got some use out of it. Just too bad that the seller didn't see more in it for you after all your time and hard work on the truck. People have to reap what they sow, and he'll have it coming. If it was me, I'd have been proud to help you keep running that truck - something could've been worked out. But some people are a different breed than the rest of us.

 

Its been a minute but here we go. Hey PP, Keep your head and up and keep on trucking. Since making the leap from company to OO, I finally had my self what I would call a good week. Picked up a load of frozen chicken in Gadsden, Al and delivered it to Wi. 672 miles. Then dh to Mich,(62 miles, for a haz-mat load going to Antioch, Ca. 2433 loaded miles, 4 days to get it there. (I likey this trip) 700 plus miles/per day running not including the day of pu. That was about 350 miles. Roads were good, a little bit of snow and ice on I80 wb through Iowa and Nebraska. Delivered that one and picked up another haz-mat load in Elk Grove, Ca. to deliver in Mobile, Al 2300 loaded mile 60 miles DH. Now for the downside, Load going to mobile is due monday (plenty of time) However I want to get it in before KLLM closes out the pay week. (Not enough time). But at least i'll start off the next week with good miles behind me.
I was teaming, with a friend of mine and we were doing about 4200 miles p/wk. That sucks. Now that I'm solo again, Im dog gone near doing 4000 by my self. Crazy company begging for teams and give them crap runs. Meanwhile solo guys are running their butts off. Go Figure

 

^^^^^^^^^

Its nice to see that you are doing well for yourself BB357. Thats a nice 387. May she bring you many profitable miles.

thank you hyway man,but the owner was(key word here) was a friend of 20 yrs,he was hurting for money and put the screws to me cause he didnt want me to take the truck out of town,,,but he was hot to trot to trade it in,he said palm peterbuilt down here was gona give him 15,000 for it,,,so he was pushing for either me to pay the truck off or for him to trade it in,,but whats burning my butt he just wanted the truck back cause its still sitting in the yard,,i drive by from time to time to see if its still there,,,,,,never again would i take a deal like that,,but some things went my way and i had to try,,it was better than sitting at home on unemployment,,,,when i do it again ill do it the way i wanted to in the first place,,,,,,but thanks for the boost,,,,i made my share of mistakes out there but like i used to tell my guys if your not makeing mistakes your not doing anything thanks again
