    So far Loves has been offering the best discounts. Usually in the .35 to .40c range.

    I ain't run off and left Pound Puppy have all the fun. New phone and I hadn't logged into ttr yet. I'm doing ok. Had a PA to IL last week. 9500# 458 miles $1113, followed by a IL to IL 44k no tarp paying $501.50 on 99 total miles. My deadhead and average rate per mile have bother inched up a tad. Deliver this load in the morning in MI at $640 on 268 actual miles, then pick up 40 miles away and go to ohio. $550; on 230 all miles. Deliver 1st time at 8:30 and reload and deliver at 3:30 and maybe get another one on tomorrow night. Very happy here. The wife is working on getting her cdl so she can learn to drive with me for a year and then we are gonna get her a day cab or short sleeper Pete to run out of a local DC up by the house. Got all the information on adding my next truck ready to be picked up in Louisville. All is going good and we started shopping for a newer truck for me on Friday.

    Battle born, the truck I'm driving has 1.4m on its original engine. Lacking the power to climb the hills with all the weight.

    Got my sights on a 99 classic with a fresh engine for less money than a rebuild

    Honest question I've observed around the site. Are the California runs enough to warrant a post 2008 rig and the bonus, or am I better off with a pre emissions still? It's kind of the last real thought I'm trying to deal with.
