    Thinking along the same lines as you. Didn't wanna be committed committed. What were doing right now is sort of like that with the few steady runs we have now but we can always turn it down if my schedule doesn't jive with it. After Thanksgiving I'm gonna make a list of all the places around town here and knock on some doors or do some cold calls. Having 2 trucks instead of 1 opens some more doors

    Just added everything. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be. Overall average $2.32 on all miles. 5700 miles in 18 days. Fuel’s killing me @.86 cpm.
