    Gas ain’t much different than here. $2.97. But that fuel price is to the moon. I think fuel is about 3.30 here

    Left 10am Sunday, be home 8pm tonight. 2.5 days off. 3200 miles. Mi-Ga. 2 rd trips. 24 hr. D&H. Light load. Only problem is that it’s 13 hrs each way. Ideally 11 hrs. Less time wasted in sleeper. Otherwise it’s a great run. Always looking for greener pastures. Rather be home every night. I see this summer slipping away already.
     
    Siinman and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Received this email from Allen Lund today. One of the cheapest brokers out there is stressing about capacity . This crap about driver shortage just never ends

    Releasing the cheapest freight available is good in their interest.
