    I know i promoted jb hunt at first, then kinda trashed it lol. Well, I compared those 2 months to the market and realized that it was just really crappy 2 months back then. Real trash for everybody owner ops. Last couple months it got back to normal. really good pay, and i try to only take 24 hour pu and delivery loads. That one time the trailer pins locked only on one side and i complained about it. but it turned out that by the end of the trip the other side locked from vibration i guess too. I've moved my own trailer before with pins only locked on one side of the tandems, and never had a problem, so no big deal at the end of the day and I didnt see a jb hunt trailer with such a problem again. Anyways, I got anxious few days ago and booked 2 loads Memphis TN to GA, one dry van load and one power only. Well, push came to shove I still cancelled dry van load. It actually paid 300 bucks more, but I was able to drop and hook at midnight, i.e. 5 hours before the dryvan load was supposed to pickup. On the delivery side dryvan load was also supposed to be like 3pm to 4pm. My power only load is 24 hour delivery. I'm still getting like 3.5 dollars per mile on it. With power only, I'm taking it super easy today and I plan to get to delivery when I get to delivery lol. I dont' think I can ever go back to dry van loads that are 99% not 24 hour pu and delivery. I mean even if im late and come at whatever time, I sill can drop and hook 24 hours per day. I can't put it into words how much this is better for my health lol I'm still literally paying 100 bucks per month for parking of my dryvan trailer because I like doing power only for JB hunt.
