    I been sitting at home since the 30th. Supposed to get down to -10 here tonight and getting 12" of snow today.
    Not sure I could go anywhere if I had my truck together.
    Actually plan on being off till around the 18th. Hopefully warm blue skies by then.

    Not quite, i meant I'm in mo just north of kc. Took the countertops to portsmouth, va. Found a reload in chesapeake to kearney, ne. I am loading in omaha tues for charlotte, mi. I'm trying some longer runs so I can bring in more $$$. Still averaging 1.71 mi. I did better per mi on the short stuff but I wasn't grossing much. I'm just trying some new lanes. Taking a resart now bored out of my mind.

    Don't worry dude, I'm sure you could make me look bad on the per mile ave without trying, I'm just trying some longer stuff. Just being the greedy capitalist pig I can be. (Grin)

    I don't think 1.71 is bad, just on loaded miles since that is total to the truck not before fees.

    Yes but as skate said that's including all dead head and keep 2 things in mind, 1 I'm only been here a lttle over 1 month so I still have a lot to learn as far as the good paying runs. 2 its january so rates are down still I'm grateful for the opportunity here at mercer, I'm personally doing better than I have ever in my life. My life experiences I'm sure are different than yous. bottom line is I'm very happy here. Be safe, rob
