    Just wondering, is anyone calling it quits January 1 or is everyone hanging on for better days to come?

    E-Logs worked properly have made us more money. The shippers, receivers, and brokers can no longer argue about what time we got there. Time to pay up for all that detention suckers.

    Good luck with that one, unless you already got your gig lined up. My guys are telling me about jokers running down the road for .86 per mile. Yesterday BNSF offered .76 per mile to pull a load out of Houston, we just said no thanks you can put that one on your train.
