    I guess all you fellers are so busy ''hopping it up'' and making BIG MONEY that nobody is having time to post much.:biggrin_2559: Wheathauler and Highside must be brokering loads for everyone:biggrin_2559:

    I have been running hard myself,corn,corn,corn. We had a bunch of smaller farmers in our area that raised a lot of corn and did'nt think about bin storage till last month,so they are all begging for trucks so they can keep harvesting:biggrin_255:. But you know what that means too,no bins,no winter loads. Just like everything else in trucking i guess,Feast or Famine. I'm gona be ready for a day off though.

    Ya'll be carefull!

    It's been ok up till Friday. I've been hauling salt but the price of diesel is making those loads cheaper. I'm not really sure what I will be doing next if anything.

    I think Big John is a low down dirty liar.

    All we've been hearing about is how his truck stays filthy from all the rock quarries and dirt roads he's been truckin' down

    Well, when I saw him today, both his truck and trailer looked like they both had just rolled off the assembly line. Meanwhile, my "paved road queen" was as filthy as it's ever been.

    I think he's just dragging a trailer around burning fuel and looking cool, while the rest of us are out actually hauling freight.:biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559::biggrin_2559:

    Because it was washed this weekend and my trailer is new, just picked it up last week from the dealer. Highsides Pete looks like he was coming from a truck show where he one first place. :biggrin_25514:

    Everything looks good at 70mph even a Freightliner. :biggrin_2559: Well some do!
