    Yep Leonard's have a red 780 Volvo. Don't know who the red century is but I did notice a truck posted available from Jackson, TN on CHR today. There are a lot of drivers at F2F who read TTR but never post.

    One can only hope. Last summer was pathetic.

    That is a new driver, John P. Not sure if he is on here or not. Unfortunately he was waiting on registration for a new trailer. This was the first in a group of 50 that we bought and working on the kinks with a new vendor.

    And I passed the @NoCoCraig this morning heading to Jackson to get their new trailer.

    Welcome back Bill. Steve (Murfreesboro) was talking about wanting to get into one of those new Wabash's.

    WB BBB. I'm looking at coming over to the dark side... ie, 53'ers, in July. What kind of experience does one need for F2F? Are you still doing the L/P program?

    well, my load to minneapolis, ended up 100 miles into wisconsin.

    rates out of minneapolis. are really pathetic. almost $1 per mile. did have a load to take me into south dakota that paid. bounce 15 miles for a load home. them 2 loads would have paid the trip home at $2. but this morning. both are gone.

    Rates have been terrible the last few weeks :biggrin_25513: Fuel went down almost a buck and the rates dropped a buck as well.

    i bet it's worse for flats. with all the fracing companies shutting down. less pipe to be hauled. more flats looking for loads.

    back in sioux falls, sd. it's 15 degrees colder, but still no weather. we're loaded for monday delivery in vegas.

    It snowed here this morning :biggrin_25510: All gone now and the sun is out and we are supposed to get some warmer temps early next week.

    Rates still suck but its all better when they suck in the sun lol.
