    I might have to deadhead out but I'll set awhile before deadhead 1200 miles to houston for less than 2 a mile. Or 650 to Dallas for 1.60 a mile.
    I'm not losing much sitting and that is better than working for free.
    Bauyo Hotshot, wasn't just couple of weeks ago, you was crying about so cheap freight out of Texas? Well, I'm now I'm there. Last time I was down here, I sit a week and got a premium dollar load out.
    That's another good reason for having such a large sleeper, enjoy the area

    Wideload: Didn't I tell you, you'd get your turn waiting at home but in line for the good load.
    Next time your through Lousiville, I doubt there will be any waiting list.

    Ya Texas rates suck bad I'll be the first to say that I run into Houston and that's about it... Last load I did to fort bliss I picked up at the port of Beaumont paid $2,900 and than did 3 humvees back into rosenburg,tx (by Houston) that paid $1,650 it's all I ended up doing that week but it wasn't a bad week

    So when y'all say your waiting to be first on the list you saying that if 10 trucks drop in that town the first truck that unloads gets first pick of the first load that comes up? But if you don't take that first load truck number two gets it?

    But if it's your home area, your still moving up the list and you stay on top, until you deceide to grab one.

    4 Days and every load I try to accept on, I lose. I keep getting told I'm still 5th on the list. Sure wish I understood.
    Hopefully tomorrow is my turn. Starting to be real frustrating. Starting to think they are playing favorites.

    I used to send my dispatcher gift certificates. She loved Logan's Roadhouse ;)
