    Well we all still chugging along on the schneider owner op division. Things havent really changed at the big orange, they have slowed down hiring but everyone still seems busy moving freight.

    Is this directed at me? I dont see any tears or lack of effort. My biggest heartbreak was eld and going from coast to coast in 5 days... it still drives me crazy to trash around truck stops. That's why I took a student.

    You are correct. Very observent of you. You should at least get a cookie. It fell off that fast.
    I dont claim to know what's going on and the news doesn't tell the truth. Hence, the post. It is very possible that I was being manipulated to fill in on a dedicated account.
    Articles say we are at 30% of last years freight numbers. Everyone that has posted seems to be moving.
    I do appreciate you being a fan of mine and investigating my posts.

    Chocolate chip cookie please. Anyway, freight is inconsistent right now. Difficult times with the pandemic going on. My theory is that you being a driver for Knight-Swift, they may be too big. Hellified drivers to keep moving at a rate 2300 - 2500 miles per week. Now those who are having a good week right now, maybe telling a different story next week. I'm on pace this week for about 2300 miles, not bad, not great. It'll do given these times. Maybe the load gods are friendly to me next week.

    I didn't answer a couple questions.
    1. I was not bellyaching. Blissful that I tried training. No office job with my degree or owner operator job would net me as much money. My dispatcher said it was going to be dead at least a month. I'm not going to lay around a truck stop for a month getting fat.
    2. Asking about lease. I had 3 uncles that drove over 20 years. When they heard I was trucking, they warned me about purchasing used equipment, etc. I had inquired of the advantages in another post.
    As far as your investigation of me and all that I really dont understand the question. I have inquired about a couple things here. At the end of the day, it's none of your friggin business
