    I stay here and eat here every time I’m here. I actually really like Buffalo.

    That’s a good place. Fuel cigarettes and cheap breakfast at the restaurant. About the only good place out that way.
     
    Siinman and Brettj3876 Thank this.

    Goodness.

    I know why, but at the same time I don't know "why".

    Meaning: Why would someone think I'd take a load for literally half the rate as a similar run, but this time with additional stops?

    I know why. But that's something for another guy who's willing to run for scraps and can't afford to say "Nah"

    Looking at prices on 53’ dry vans. Doesn’t look like they’ve dropped hardly at all. Penske wants $21k for the same Trailer I bought from them in 2017 for $11k. It’s a 2006, mines a 2008. I’d be happy with $15k for mine, if I could get the 2020 Stoughton for $40k. Considering the old prices were $8 or $9k for mine and $38k for a new Stoughton. Basically a wash either way. I don’t buy new anyway. Can’t handle that first damage that’s done. Lol. Rather have something already slightly used, and depreciated.
