    Yeah, even based in Atlanta, GA, we never come deliver here. We pass thru and keep on keeping on.

    I never usually do either. Usually I have a load 3 days before I go down there. But for some reason getting back to Chicago this past week has been a real bear. And the other stuff just wouldn't deliver when I needed it to. Crap has to come off the next day.

    Just bobtailed on Tuesday to Atlanta, GA from Charlotte, NC to pick up a set of doubles to take to Gary, IN that paid over $3 per mile for all miles including botailing. They could not find anybody in the Atlanta area with combination endorsement on CDL to move them.

    They are a repeat customer too!

    When the snow hits the north, loads in the southeast will be even harder to come by. Glad we are working with good brokers, customers.

    Things are slower down here in ATL. Don't know if the economy is coming to a halt or pre election jitters. Our numbers are off compared to last year for September.
