    I deliver just west of Providence Monday afternoon. I will probably go down to that TA after, is that where you'll be staying? I have a drop in NJ and NY monday morning. I'll be running along 80 tomorrow and Sunday...

    The ta on 95 in RI? Im gionna be up on 90 coming thru to the top side of Providence- Be there Monday Night anyway...... Maybe I might come across 80- depends on weather- the Idiots run 80-81-84 or 95 in Connecticut.... and the bad weather keeps me on the thruwau and mass pike- Less idiots and such

    from LA to Midwest average $1.50-1.75
    from Midwest to LA average $1.80-2.25

    I was on DAT 3 days and this is what I have seen. I saw roundtrip load from IN to Salt Lake and back paying $6000 and from IN to NorCal one way (3 drops) $5700 -2400 miles

    Some app that came with one of the elogs apps i tried out. I"m sure all the loads are the same you all see on whatever boards y'all using.

    That load comes to $5.88. None of you would be interested in it though.

    Yes that TA. My first drop is in Jersey at 287&80 so I'm taking that route. As of yet I have no reload. LMK which route you end up taking
