Closing up shop, or thinking about it?

Like a Pringle’s chip?
Seen a program. Maybe how it’s made?
But pringles give a different taste depending on which way to put the chip in your mouth

 

When they ask me how I what my steak I always tell them..... STILL BLEED'N
I've used Pepper's quote before too ..lol

 

Maybe he heard fourth or fifth-hand tales of the Bean Fest in Mountain Home.

 

Between insurance and fuel still high I imagine a lot of folks are folding right at this very moment. It could get worse if freight continues down. I’m hearing talk now from my one of my brokers that the shipper I pull out of a lot is looking to negotiate everyone down, including the one big carrier that hauls out of there. So even the big outfits are about to take a licking. I’m sure their fuel contracts are trending higher now as well.

I told him my no-go rate. He said it was already below that. Oh well, I have other wagons I can drag. He only deals with myself and 8 other independents at that customer so he’ll probably lose his contract. But he knows the pendulum will swing back eventually.

 

That happened a lot back in 2000. Soon afterwards real Drivers pay dropped also. Most Pay cuts started with dedicated runs. Take it or leave it. More where you come from was the attitude.

 

For the last 3 years every week I had one of my trucks pickup a load in CO going to ND. That factory just moved their production to Mexico.
Now instead of an easy dedicated run I gotta grind on the spot market with another truck on top of the other two I am already doing. Fun!

 

more of a two distinct tastes when coupled with a steak.

 

I remember that 14 outta 18 long term drivers left like I did lol

 

No way on the overkill, need a minimum of a smoker and a gas grill, different tools for different jobs.

 

I agree
I’ve posted pics before but I have gas that also has a charcoal tray that takes place of one of the grill sections, a smoker (building out that area each time I’m home) and I’m going to add a outdoor brick type pizza oven
