    No mention of cyber attacks . They just have been very spotting lately . I work with a few brokers directly so it’s not affecting me at the moment

    Me too and I'm not working next week. Probably could have negotiated a good one. Oh well......

    It is getting ridiculous how often DAT is down. Take heed, owners, better diversify. This applies to a helluva lot more than just load boards for us these days.

    It cost me 2 days down because I wont run for that cheap freight. I think it came back on around 2:30 PM by that time I was to far away from anything decent. So now I have a load that picks up sunday from Winchester VA to Shrewsbury MA for 2300 on 462 miles. On a another note I am gonna get a 34 hour reset even though I did not need it.

    I normally do not use it but to compare stuff. My main broker I use was off this week so was doing other stuff. And then the other couple brokers I use really does not have much in this area I am in. At least not good paying and I refuse to take #### loads unless I am desperately need to be at home or a better paying area.

    Here's an idea if DAT is down on Friday and you can't find any other way just go to the house. Doesn't matter if it's 1 mile or 1,000 who the f*** sits around on a Friday in the cab of a truck waiting for something to happen anyway? Go home and start over the next week.

    If it is a day drive or less I would had. But since the weekend would had been over then makes no sense.
