    wow that sucks to lose that CrazyD...Hope all works out for ya....Sad part is im seeing more and more big companies hauling stuff they never have before and less O/O...Bottom Feeders Hauling Produce and cutting the rates of both O/O and Brokers...They did it to the trade show industry what the hell why not reefers and prolly heavy haul...

    nothing more than 6 axles as of yet..

    ATS pulls the wind towers out of Ephrata WA but don't see them that often

    Hate to hear that you lost a great gig CrazyD. Stay positive, opportunity is out there. If this industry is like the one I came from they will be back. :biggrin_25525:

    Back to the boards I went!! After negotiating I get my rates. I will make 50 calls a day if I have to. Best part is my rounders going out and straight back are better than the steady gig. Fine by me.

    EHB there is no letting it go sour on a dairy,no storage,so it usually goes down the drain as those cows are milked on a schedule and you can't say sorry we'll get to you in the morning
