    Dalton and Conover are booming...Dalton needed 20 drivers the other day they had so many loads...Our normal 5am deliveries from Dalton have been showing up in the afternoon as they need drivers!...Go east, there's money in dem terminals!!!!!!!

    WKSH has 1 if not 2 new furniture accounts. One is out of IN. NJ is filled to the brim with loads needing to get out. Run shortline and you average .55 to .85 cents a mile. My best trip I averaged $1.01 a mile. That's mile pay and stop pay. Take what you made for the trip and divide into your miles. My trips are Monday thru Friday. Home weekends.

    You guys get ready for myrtle to explode. Several furniture companies in the area captured multi-million dollar contracts with the Chinese last month. AND they included an agreement ALL furniture would be built in the U.S.

    Win win.

    No need to try and explain it. I never could get folks to believe it when I worked there.

    And I doubt you'll have any better luck either. LOL

    They still need drivers on the east coast desperately, nobody here is sitting around...Well, maybe me, I may get a paid day off Monday as they can't get someone to bring up the Dalton load to the KY terminal...I won't complain!....Go east!!!!!!
