    I wasn't referring to TMC. I have always felt TMC is a respectable company. When you say 120 on specialized, does that count guys pulling out of Ankeny?

    It varys every month depending on your productivity. MPG, gross revenue, out of route miles, those are the big ones. Not sure how low it goes but it can go up to 32%. Im at 28% which seems to be about the normal for me. Ive been up to 32% and thats because I stayed out a month and worked my d*** into the ground before my vacation.

    I should have been more specific...I wasn't talking about the sprayers. I was talking about the tillage.

    Im one of the few short hoods still. I was offered a hood a few weeks ago and declined because the other truck had a bad MPG history and this one has been reliable and gets around 6.2-7 depending on what trailer im pulling and all. Oh I do all 3. Flats, steps, and RGNs.

    Yes, usually I have those loads out of Des Moines. Every once in a while line haul will get a few of those but thats not typical. Those can be interesting to secure too....

    Yeah, everything I've hauled out of there has been spot-bid stuff with LS. The guy I run them for said he had bid on a few specialized moves but they don't ship out till spring. He mainly hauls for their Development Division (Prototype stuff). I keep my eye on things coming out of there and I haven't seen a load posted on our boards out of Davenport in a month. I can get some good loads going over to IA every day, there just isn't anything over there for us to haul out right now.
