    There's not many teams here and couldn't do any more damage than those who have their wife at home refreshing the load board every 2 seconds.

    You think .89 out of Colorado is bad, try ZERO loads within 450 miles of Denver.
    I've seen it.
    The team board is that bad.
    Doesn't have to be putting us on the solo board but dang Schneider you have more loads, at least post more so we dont have to deadhead a lot.

    The problem with that theory is what you saying it's no different than somebody at home booking loads well yes it is and I'll tell you why... Somebody at home booking loads for their spouse the truck and still only move so many hours a day while a team can operate that truck 24 hours a day that's where the detriment would occur to the solos... That's why it's not a good idea

    I'm running team and one is sleeping most all the time the other is driving.
    So how exactly am I'm competing with a wife at home camping the load board while I am sleeping?

    I'm guessing you have extended warranty on the engine including emissions ?

    That's why I like going to so cal, always a load going out that pays somewhat decent. It's just getting there for more than $1 is the problem.

    There was nothing this week so that's why I'm going north west. I got $1.41 to go this trip. Plus I need to get up north where they sell chains, don't have any on my truck yet.

    Your great company helping beat the speed limiter rule drum.....

    "Schneider National, Inc. (Schneider), a motor carrier with a sizeable trucking fleet, indicated that its trucks have had speed limiting devices set to 65 mph since 1996. According to Schneider's crash data involving its own fleet, vehicles without speed limiting devices accounted for 40 percent of the company's serious collisions while driving 17 percent of the company's total miles. Schneider stated that its vehicles have a significantly lower crash rate than large trucks that are not speed limited or have a maximum speed setting greater than 65 mph."
