Probably. But you definetely weren't in the worst carcasses I saw.

Glad you came back home safely. Thanks for your service.

 

Hey katz, I don't know what the deadhead is, but does that load fit into your budget? or is this just a get me the hell outta here and we will try to break even kinda load?

 

It's what would have been great LTL loads turned into crap.

I was sitting at 80 miles from home on Thursday, trying to squeeze in one more run before I go home.

Eric the coordinator called me to see if I'd be interested in a pair of LTLs going to NY & NJ totaling $6k, so I took it. And things went downhill from there.

As it is, it doesn't fit my budget. This might have been a decent load a few months ago, and I'll stil make some profit. But when you can do a bunch of 500-mile runs at $2.00+ a mile for higher net profit, all the aggrevation I went through just doesn't seem to be worth it.

 

Hang in there. "Some days dirt, some days diamonds". You are showing a lot of character.

 

Yeah, I'll be all right. Just beating myself for making a stupid decision. I should have seen it coming (multiple pick ups, one of them at Army Depot, over a holiday weekend). This is what happens when I get a little too greedy and trade in my familiy time for extra profit. It serves me right LOL.

And I figured other people can learn from my mistakes while getting chuckle out of it.

Like somebody's signature says, I may be a character but I'm not sure if I have character LOL.

 

OK my truck just got a level 1 in IL and passed....yea.....and since the Louisville insp was due in Aug anyway this is great!

 

Where at in IL? Good stuff! How many container haulers where pulled in getting inspected?

 

How's it goin katz. Has your luck turned yet?

 

Texas Dot has been going crazy at the scales on 45 between Houston and Dallas. They had the creepers out at 5 am most of the week. Don't forget the two straps in the first 5 feet and no further than 2 feet apart. I am sure that every one knows that, but we sometimes need a gentle reminder. Be safe out there.
