    Been stuck in Texas, where it was beginning to warm, now stuck in Kansas, and not as warm. But a possible move in the works for Sunday, to an even colder area.... Wait a minute what wrong with this Picture?

    Well I found another company to look into Smith Transportation out of Kansas City KS. 70% of the load 0.35 PM FSC and no load under 2.00 PM.

    May be worth looking into.....

    Spunds like meat haulers or something. If so u can expect to sit for two days waiting dor your load and then run like hell for a day.

    They are a Reefer Carrier. Running I am not scared of and the driver I talked to claims does not sit. He works for an O/O and brought in 1300.00 taking 30% as pay doing 3500 miles. But no matter what it has to be BETTER than what I am doing now.

    I don't see it. Produce is paying those rates but the return loads aren't. And nobody will gauratee it. I didn't mean anything by the running it was the sitting I was stressing.

    A lot of companies pay drivers to recruut so be carefull who u listen to.

    Yes it can get worse. It can always get worse. And if u keep bouncing nobody will sign ya so do your homework
