    I've been trying real hard to stay quiet..

    Just remember one week of great loads doesn't add up to what you do week to week.
    We all have our ups and downs.
    Something to keep in mind.

    Yes I got screwed and ran for $1.50 last week in crap markets.
    Wasn't the end of the world though.

    Depends on how much in the middle of nowhere you are.

    I'm not far from pittsburgh. The company I work for now normally gets me loads in and out pretty easy.. I just don't know how the rates out are. I've seen schneider at a lot of the places I go but didn't know if there was a lot on the load board or not.

    I've lost count how many times I've been to Pittsburgh, I've taken more beer loads there than probably everywhere else combined.
    Weekends out of there suck though.

    If you're very close to the Pitts I guess it's fine.
    Schneider has loads going to the Walmart DC in Wintersville ALL the time also.
     
    Noob1 Thanks this.

    The best thing about running in the choice board, I was able to yesterday at the last minute book a flight out of Dallas to Phoenix for $160 round trip for this weekend, called my ica and asked her to clear my board because I'm going to see my family for the weekend and not have some dispatcher yell and scream at me or tell me no. This was way better then trying to bounce myself around the country to make it Phoenix while my family was here. Plus a small vacation is a good thing every so often. I'll be back to work Tuesday and I have anyway booked my loads.
