    Rates and lanes are really the only thing that interest me anymore. It's funny, really happy where I am now just kind of bored. Better to be bored than broke I guess. Just feel like there is alot of learning left to do. I trust in myself to find a way to go broke. Bet I won't be bored then.

    I don't expect anything. Absolutely nothing. might help in the very, very near future. Underlying problems will still exist. Have a hard time hedging any bets on this clown show of a election, but this could be for another forum so I will stop there.

    Without realizing it, most of us are already learning this if we are paying attention to the Schneider rates. On top of that, lots more tools available to us today that weren't available 20 years ago, making it easier to find the good lanes.

    I think most would agree, unless you live in the east or west... Stay East of 35 and West of 75 and you can do pretty well.

    Man you think p&g is bad the ports of Savannah and Norfolk used to be just a few IC'S moving around. For the past 8 months it's like driving around a oc there are so many company trucks. Not looking forward to winter. Throw in the snow birds I don't what I'm going to do. Head for the snow with you Midwest guys I guess:D

    That's what they keep telling everyone in order to keep getting tax breaks for hiring new drivers as well as keeping wages low by driving a constant turnover.

    Win win for the Mega's but it always is!
