    You have to be able to survive and make money during the lean times, then when these short burst of great paying freight comes along; it's money in the bank!

    The real impressive thing is those were found in the load board. No secret handshake committee involved.

    I've been running $2.50 - $4.50 all off the load board for a couple weeks. Yes I've got a few loads via agents request, and the Conestoga that ran with me yesterday was paid well to DH from MS to pick that load up. But that happens when the customer will only load certain trailers. I had to turn down $1600 today on less then 400 miles. I had to put my trailer in the shop. But the agent claims they are running all week if I want them so hopefully I can get rolling tomorrow. Be safe out there.

    Oh and for you newer kool aid drinkers, study the board! There are 3 areas really booming right now. The $5500 GA to .CA load might just leave you leaving a lot of $$$ on the table. Just my 2 cents.
     
    Chickadee, HalpinUout and spyder7723 Thank this.

    Oh I see what you are saying. Well somebody does as I've heard very similar stories from different agents. It might still be an upper management thing, I don't know. Maybe it came out of the last agent meeting? But something is going on.

    If you want one or would just like to ask more in dearth questions, I can give you Steves number.
