    It could be a possibility in the future. I have to see how things shake out over the next couple months before I feel good about any expansions outside the upper Midwest.

    ok that didnt work. enough fooling around. Hey Skareboard I live just north of you onUs1. first town with red lights south of augusta. I have pretty much made up my mind to come over. where I live hows it gonna be coming out of there. I pull a van now but will do flats with Mercer. Vans out of here I always have to deadhead home from Atlanta, or further and usually cheap as crap coming out with a sizable deadhead.

    Actually I have been reading it. I started following it way back in november right around the time wide load was looking to come over. I was really wanting to pull the trigger then but decided to wait until end of this month until my last truck payment had been made. Also didn't make much sense to make a move with winter coming. No need to add the exspense of moving when you know its going into a slow season. I figured there would be lots of belly acheing going on about slow fr8t and slack rates about now and sure enough there is. I am curious about you guys take on if the addition of so many new trucks is really hurting you right now or do you feel its mostly just cause it is febuary. I do apologize for the hijacking earlier, had my dumb#$%& cap on at the time. Whatever you thought of me at the time I deserved. skateboardmans adventures interest me greatly too cause I live only about 30 miles from him.

    Yea I got it but it wouldn't let me respond cause of the post count. Then I got a bright Idea on how to fix it which was ill conceaved to say the least. what are you getting out of Sandersville, hell I thought the only thing there was chalk. Jefferson I assume is tractors. Do you get any out of JD in augusta or JCB in Savanah? Its been a while since I have been under a flat Im just trying to get a good feel for whats close by and if the rates on that stuff are decent. With this van I really take a beating when I go home. I appreciate your effort to btw.
