    I've done some research but find it difficult to get a straight answer they have been emailing me they now have regional work but I'm in the middle of negotiations with a couple of other carriers and haven't been able to get back to them I live in the Boston area, and have been spoon fed for 30+ but the lack of efforts on dispatch side is killing me so I'm looking to turn in new direction possible, thx for responding

    It's a load board , you pick the freight. I can back to Jersey with a flat, hard to get out. Lately it's been better. But I run to the Midwest to work.

    Well like I said they say they have regional work ,the thing holding me back is I avg 150K home everything now doing what I'm doing and not sure if skateboards would be OK for me , I'm not lazy and I'm not weak but I keep thinking of that tarp and in winter having to clean off the snow I guess if I worked regional could I do much better than I am with the added work I understand flats and steps pay good but based on what I'm doing open trailer doors home everything and grossing 150K is it worth leaving

    Just another prime example of either O/O lease or lease purchase companies finding a way to downsize their expenses via the leases of the people whom made them whom they are, and made the company what it is/was.

    I ran containers out of Jersey. After 3 and half months I had 4000 in tolls. Your 150k could be light by 10 to 14 k due to tolls. Just curious.
