    Just heard they got rid of all the Buske trailers, temperature control is down to 220 drivers, no new reefers on order. Just as I said, that fleet is as good as gone. I saw the writing on the wall with thefake facebook post about new lanes out of Arkansas back to Arizona.

    71 degrees in South Carolina, Rush on the stereo, and by tomorrow I'll have made $1000 for the week. Life is good.

    I have the fleet size from November and the fleet size as of today right in front of me. There are about the same number of drivers in temperature control as there were in November. GTI (yes there is still a GTI, it isn't just Heartland now) wants to maintain and grow this division and is actively recruiting drivers for it. No new reefers on order - this doesn't mean anything that the company hasn't ordered any new reefer trailers in the last 5 months. Some of the oldest of the old reefer trailers were sold. The facebook post was not fake, there was new refrigerated business added from the Heartland customer base. Thank you.

    2 outta 3 ain't bad. And you can fix that Rush problem by changing the station. Then you're 3 for 3.
