    Deez cat.

    Deez cat eat cat treats and Friskies for a 10 weeks while it make a me work out like a frigging sophomore.

    It a book a one load, and I think is like a $4.60 mile.

    So by a Monday is a like $3600 to the cat, and a $400 to me.

    Is not like a Schneider money, but is a better than a poke in a dee eye with a the sharp stick.

    All the loser O/O's here who can't turn a profit hauling for $1.80 a mile, or new hires driving for $0.30/mile appreciate the bravery you and Gunnery Sergeant Penn show in mocking them. Even the lowest form of girlie man should be able to figure out that all you need to do to make money in this market is to counter - for example - one of Schneider's ridiculous offers with something realistic, and then surely all your industriousness and tenacity will pay off.

    Umm, y’all really have no clue how much some reefer guys make. And if he has a new truck he’s not putting up big money in maintenance. 5500 is a 1600 mile trip doing produce. No big deal. How do you think we can afford our chicken lights or stretched frames?

    From good area to a bad one? Or is it the same rate coming back?
    I know some reefer guys get 10k running Cali to Northeast, then get $3k from Midwest back to Cali and at the end of the month they average the same money as everyone else.

    Good area to good area. I don’t run bad areas. Wouldn’t make sense. Stop pulling easy stuff and reap rewards. To easy and there’s plenty of opportunity cause laziness is all to common of truck drivers.I don’t do the high to low lanes. Nor Cali, they are anti diesel as can be, Gotta go now and deliver while folks sleep then do a self washout. Hear folks complain about that, but those are also the ones that complain about rates, brokers, or basically everything!

    Sounds like they need to learn how to run a triangle type run. Pretty much anything running east to west or west to east is not gonna pay worth a sheet both ways.
