    I unloaded in Fort Morgan, CO then ran into the T/A in Denver. Agent said there would be loads leaving on Monday and Tuesday. Lies, but the load coming here payed good. Another Mercer truck showed up Wednesday. I got load my final load going to Indy for $1.76 leaving Friday. He got a load Wednesday afternoon paying $2.05 to St. Louis.

    I unloaded 6 hours before him. Neither me nor my coordinator ever saw the load on the board.

    Things like this make me grumpy. Oh, well :)

    I hate that t/a. I spent 2 hours one night trying to find a parking spot.

    All kinds of items are also available used. PM me and I'll tell you who to talk to. I dropped off a headache rack and headboard a week ago, plus a bunch of chain binders. Tons of tarps available too. You'll save a lot of money, your stuff just won't be all shiny and new.

    I accumulated too much stuff, had over two dozen binders. Got a new trailer and discovered all kinds of stuff in the boxes on the old one.

    that load must have paid like gold, some of the shine may be off after sitting a week.

    I guess you like getting in those places, run the breadbasket and give those loads to nowhere up, you will do better.

    Hey skateboard, you gonna come play van hauler with the rest of us slackers in Baldwin?

    Blind driver, if the rate don't pay good enough to bounce back to kc, everything west of there doesn't exist. Just take those pages out of your map. Will be less tempted to fall for that sucker 2.50/mile rate to Denver.

    spyder I would love to but I just got a letter from the fmcsa that the doc that gave me my last physical has had all his physicals for the last 2 years declared no good as of may 2,2014. he died oct 2013 , I had mine done dec 2012. apparently before he died he wasn't doing proper physicals.

    so I got to home get another, renew twic, do the hazmat and renew license as all that expires may 4.

    I was through there a few hours ago. If I'd known this I would have begged you to spend a couple of those big Mercer bucks on buying this impoverished little gyppo wannabe a glass of kool-aid.

    FWIW- RLT has totally turned me off, staying right where I am for now.
