    You've been trolling from your start a couple weeks ago, doing nothing but that and down talking drivers

    Yeah don't you just know it!! I know they make 75% as a matter of routine.

    Hey this brokerage Top Worldwide out of Flint, MI paid the second half of the freight charges when I sent over copies of the POD & the office invoiced it about an hour ago after I emptied out. No issues at all with the load or broker, good load. I won't forget them.

    I touched base with an old contact that used to feed me a lot of high dollar freight several years ago because I knew she occasionally had freight out of KC area. Offered up an opportunity for her, "I want a load back to TN". She couldn't come up with anything but that's ok. You see I don't just take, take, take and forget - with a select few I don't. It's just unfortunate the current state of affairs that the few good contacts like that I had back then are struggling to keep customers themselves.

    Actually, PA passed them like they were standing still and CT is eating their dust.

    CT: $.50/gal
    PA: $.64/gal

    Ct been $0.565 per gallon least a year now far as I recall. I haven't kept as close an eye since they changed to ifta online vs an excel spreadsheet. Glad somebody is trying to keep my state from looking like the only tax rapists in the area!

    Fuel was $2.739 tonite when I passed the local cheaper fuel stop. Failtacular

    Ruthless, that's how it is down here to. The local gas stations are a solid thirty cents a gain cheaper than the big chains.

    This is what I had been thinking, last I did it on a spreadsheet this is what I had for tax pricing.
    image.jpg @nutcase you're correct: CT dropped their fuel tax (!) in June, to $0.503 for a 12 month period

    I take it that you hate brokers and think all of them are out to rip you off and cheat you... Right??? Let's say you take a load from me that pays you what you want, but I still make $500 on it. Is that ok???
