Trucks are weird because the next calender year of truck model comes out in like February. It's a 2016 but the build date was February of 2015. It has 350k on it. So in two years I'll be looking for another ride. But next time I'll be in much better shape, believe that. These load boards are unbelievable .

 

Thank you sir

 

We logged into the system today and played around for a while on the live load board. I want to run mostly midwest, so I created a route to get me from Jefferson Ga to home. I did it at a relaxed pace, load-wise. 3 trips, very minimal bobtail. First load took me to Illinois. 2nd load took me to another load in Indiana. 3rd load took me close enough to home where I wouldn't have cared about deadhead. The first 2 loads totalled around 925 miles and the line charge was 3600. My pull from that would have been around 2600. Friggin ridiculous. The last load home was impressive as well, but not quite as high as the first 2.

 

You gotta be real careful on independent boards. Lots of shady runs and brokers there. This is a private board, kinda like closed circuit TV. You won't typically find stuff like this on a public board or app. And you better have money set aside. Most of those loads take 60-90 days to pay. #### that.

 

Every once in a while they'll let the public see a preview. It's like a carrot on a stick to get people over here. It's crazy man. There is some sick money to be had here if you're smart.
