    If I have a coil load after I deliver I will set everything on the deck before I leave the shippers. And strap it down. I won't have chains or binders out, but dunnage, coil racks , and mats I will have out all bundled together and strapped.

    There's no money to be made right now. Just stay home until spring or maybe even summer.

    I was all lined up for making good money this week then my pretrip this morning sent that south. Found my trailer service breaks were frozen at the valve off the tank 1.5 hours later they were operational once more. Could not get to the shippers in time after my empty, so load was push back till Thursday. I lost my Friday and Mondays load. Oh well I will still make my daily minimum for this week. And have a new Monday load.

    Do you have a light weighing truck? I was planning loads out and all the coils loads I seen down that way weight 48-49k. I can't haul that much.

    I had to give up a load from there going to Boston. It might come up again for Friday pick up.
