    I've been traveling down arsenal rd a lot more and I noticed Will county isn't working nearly as hard as they used to. In 7 trips, I only saw 1 state trooper. Is will co no longer working Arsenal or am I just going by at off times?

    Well, first months numbers at the new place are in .....19K or about $3.800 gross per week on 8,021miles, or, about 1,600 miles per week, 2 nights spent in the truck.......not bad, considering all the growing pains we've been going through......

    Well, everyone must be working hard this year!!!!!....rates have been pretty good, the rails are at the worst that I remember, and customers have had to start adjusting....

    Since starting at Haven Intermodal, my full week settlements have been well north of 3K....

    How have you guys been doing, what, if anything, new have you learned....other, than OTR is back!!!!...with a vengeance!!!!!
