    Its something that only happens to you ONCE. I had it happen out in Ohio somewhere. Talked to the spotter and he brought me an empty they had on a door.

    There's a reason they call it Landstarve.

    Don't let me scare you away. I'm in learning mode. There's money to be made here. I've seen it I love the way they handle the money here with the fuel cards and settlement cards. I'm going to try and make this work. This was just a hiccup in my learning journey.

    Good advice. Thanks for the info. I am still waiting for a trailer. All the preloaded loads I have called about they want an empty dropped off when you go to get the loaded one. How long is the wait for dry van? They said it would only be a couple of days. Going on a week now.

    Depends on where you're at. Northeast and south are the worst waits from what I've heard. I'm still sitting here living in hotels waiting on my trailer to be unloaded. Fourth day. Trailer utilization told me the wait is long but didn't give an exact time estimate.

    I did. Heard good things. We'll see. First load is a nightmare.
