Where is everyone #5

I'm running across 68 in MD tonight, not a bad little road.

 

Still crowded down there...I know where there's some empty roads though.

 

Like that road you sent me on! Lol

 

Couldn't find anything to do in the Land of Enchantment. So I bounced over here to the Ft Worth yard. I'm about to sign on for another 3 years here at Landstar and I have to do a safety class tomorrow and eat some free lunch first.

 

Yeah...Chalk Creek Road. Even that ones gets a little busy when the bull wagons need to avoid the scales.

 

I didn't tell you I made a wrong turn and had to back up half a mile lol.

Road turns right up a hill toward a row of production tanks and I stayed straight down the farm road, lol

 

Decided you wanted to stay on?

 

Just remember it’s 68% of 98%. Then carry the 2,divide by the square root of the linehaul. Add the fuel surcharge, subtract tolls and tarp fees, and you have a ballpark of what it pays

 

For now. I can go away at any time though.

My deal is a little simpler...65% for the truck, 9% for the trailer. 100% of fuel , detention and tarps. I think they had to change it when they relaxed the standards for leasing on...too many guys couldn't do the math.

 

Crowded is a loose term. In comparison to the northeast Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, lousiana, those two lanes are practically empty.

I will say I had a nice ride on a Pennsylvania two lane last week. 50 miles rolling in a valley — just gotta watch out for those Amish buggies.
