    My personal favorite is Southern California to Florida and return. Lots of easy miles and lots of easy money. For some strange reason they have a hard time finding people who want to run that lane.

    I've been thinking of switching to reefers. But slot of my guys don't do it because of the waiting for load unload.. for extra expenses involved in reefers.. and theyre just so stubborn. It's hard to change their thinking

    If they're netting 150k with dry van, why are you even asking? Keep doing what you're doing.

    yea i guess I don't blame them. on reefers you gotta know the good routes, you live in a hot spot for reefers, trucks making 2.00-3.00 per mile to go into north east

    Yea. Net 150K? Whoo hoo. In the money in the money. I would not change anything.

    I would quit McKesson if that was where the money is at and for me that would be a no brainer. (Im retired, McKesson was one of the very best ever in my 30 years out there (More or less)
