    And a number of people will look at those numbers, see just those miles, and think that you aren't doing very well. Struggling to stay moving and all.

    LOL. Well, if that's how some people see those numbers, not a whole lot I can do, or really care to do, about that.

    What's funny in a way is that I was planning to take January off. This month has been like piling a couple of more inches of thick cream cheese on top of my carrot cake ;-)

    My trucks are leased to a small carrier but I do all my own planning and dispatch. PM if you are interested.

    My Flatbed rate took a small hit, down to $2.25 YTD, my Van thought is a very healthy $2.90.
    I don't know how long that will last, but I will enjoy it while it does.

    Van load availability to Portland was sparse on the board today out of L.A. and tomorrow.

    Lots of brokers working me over for anywhere between $2 to $2.40 a mile. A lot lower than it has been.

    I just kept working the phone's and got a $3.00 a mile load timed and going right to where I wanted to go.

    My van was in Detroit delivering this morning and so is really easy pick up in Plymouth coming down to Atlanta. I will probably meet up with him in Atlanta on Friday to do little bit of work on that truck and take my driver to lunch.
