    A for effort. Anyway you look at it its crazy. I'm just taking the big road and chalking it up to a lesson Learned. When they offer a load scrutinize it. Fyi the good ones get snapped up quick.

    Well if you’re paid percentage then I’m assuming J.B. is as well so really you didn’t lose out

    That whole route is fine. But i would run i74 west to 47. It only adds like 10 miles and is a bit faster.

    I two lane a lot. You have to weigh the advantages. First question is how many miles am I saving, and if I'm over 25K in the box, it's gonna need to be at least 80 miles, cause your not gonna make time, and your gonna blow fuel & wear on the truck.
    Also, is it at night when all the creatures with antlers like to stand in the roadway. You hit one of those 200 pound plus bucks, or friggin elk, it's gonna be a bad trip.
    Big highway isn't always bad.

    Ever since I started reading this thread, when I'm wondering around a TA or Petro, and I see the packages of women's underwear, I think about you lol.

    Look at the rate confirmation sheet to find out. I'm still waiting for these lease purchase guys to even ask for one if they know what that is?

    Holding your foot on the throttle will also avoid whiplash. Onguard will still raise hell with you, but you "can" override it in the short term.
    Edit: How long are you staying out at any given time???

    Oh Dave that's scary. Get over it. I never leave my trash on the ground. But I find myself wondering myself "is that one of my truckers report pals ?"
    Here's a fun past time. Sit down at AT the cdl only counter. Look around with a big smile and ask, "So which of you is the one ain't got no panties on?" You can clear the room.
