    Saw your previous post they edited because you put web address and phone number on it. I'm sure some on this thread may use boards probably as last resort. Most load boards have cheap freight. Course right now everybody does.

    As far as interest in one who knows. If all it has on it is cheap loads they probably won't use it. It's up to the individual trucker though.

    Nice and cool up in Youngstown and that's fine with me. Ran the tanks down to fumes to get back here without fueling out in PA. Almost had to use the tarps for sails to avoid near $3 fuel.

    $3 that's not good. Hope that isn't a trend. So far staying around $2.69 around here.

    Nah, east coast prices just suck. Smokes are over $6 a pack even out in the country. Fuel's $2.69 here too.

    I've had some FSC's lately which is unusual for me. But there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Ranges from 15% to 23%, and one was a flat 22 cents a mile for the PCMiler miles. They don't seem to go by fuel prices at all.

    One would think they should be same, supposedly Dept. of Energy gives the avg price of fuel I believe on Monday and you're supposed to get FSC based on this. Who knows if they do. We have one grain company that pays FSC but still isn't much higher than the others. I wouldn't mind getting paid that if even if they took it away if fuel got cheaper.

    It was $2.79 here in my area of PA. Fuel tax here .381 KS is .26 so the fuel is actually a little cheaper here.
