    Yeah the rates are starting to look good!!!!!

    Franklin, Wi to NS Landers....$650!!!!....as long as the rates keep increasing at this rate we'll be, not just ok, but making more, while working less!!!!.....

    Now if Dispatch could get organized, well, we could be killing it in 2018!!!!!!

    It would go to on duty not driving on its own... I would normally work 58-60 hours a week so never ran out of hours...

    I haven't been paying attention, but how does this effect the local/x-town only guys? Or the 100 air mile drivers, will they now have to log?
