    I brought up a load of fracking pipe from Houston up to Alvarado that paid decent, they said I'd be getting a load out of Midlothian going east. When they offered me another load out of James Hardy building products that paid 1.16 a mile to the truck going to South Carolina, I had to draw the line. I'm not going 1100 miles for .30 a mile to me. The very next lead was a load of girders out of Midlothian going to Warren Michigan paying me .48cpm. that I can handle since it's taking me to the house.

    I don't turn down many loads and this is my first time of turning one down with national strategic.

    Was that girder load the one that was posted yesterday at 48,300lbs?
    I was empty by Ft. Hood looking for a backhaul to MI so that wouldve been perfect minus the weight
    I ended up dh to Daingerfield for a dope load of shingles to Dayton Oh

    No clue, I know it's a p&s load which is who my company uses for freight. But it only weighs 47820

    Awesome way to end my night, a Schneider rookie just backed into my trailer. My company wants the cops to come out and do a police report
