    Y'all just have me all wrong I'm really a nice guy and would give my shirt off my back for anyone. Just last week I paid for this old couple's meal at roadhouse and have done stuff like that many times, I'm also the guy that walks over and helps people roll there tarps up

    My wife tells me all the time that's one of my problems is I'm always helping everyone else but i believe what goes around comes around and every night I lay down I fall asleep within the first five min and sleep good at night!!!

    thats a completely different scenario of what i was speaking of, i mean the guy that always feels shortchanged, he worries if he pre books a load, the next guy may get a load that pays 5 cents more. or the guy that worries that the broker is getting to big of a cut.

    get what satisifes you and go about your business.

    keeping on top of rates is another ball of wax.

    ya I have stop worring about everyone else.......that's why I'm back to one truck and happy as hell

    Just remember "don't bite the hand that feeds you" when you have someone you charge what ever and even with that they still say that's all? add wait time, at $100 a hour I get $1,000 out of them to go 100 miles. You don't want to loose that customer!

    There are things alot more important in life than money & family is one of them,some people don't understand that.
    There are alot of times i need to be in the hayfield in the summer but if my daughter's travel softball team is playing i am at the park with her & my wife,there is alway's work to do in the hayfield,with the cows or the trucking but when you miss some of those moments you can't get them back.
    You need to get your priorities in life straight bayou.
