    Well stuck here all God #### weekend. Don't know how they can't find a load until then. Only bright spot is I have lots of #### to grill and plenty of time to do it. ####.

    I hope it’s not the beginning of an economic slowdown

    Well we are due another down turn and with the idiot in the white house surprised it hasn't already started. One thing for sure is that if things keep up at the current clip my ### will be getting my own truck so I can hold the ####### that ####s up fully responsible.

    A piss poor ####ing week. Did manage to get both of my picks ups done today and down the road a bit. Pulled up east of Atlanta, will deal with that #### show tomorrow after rush hour. Fixing to fire up the grill and enjoy some pork steaks. Hope the upcoming week is an improvement on the lackluster performances by nearly all involved in the recent weeks. The ####er in this truck is on point would be nice for the remaining assets to pick up their game.

    Well so much for thinking I would be in good shape for a prime load tomorrow since I was on the board since last Friday but no love. Apparently a bunch of drivers on Wednesday board didn't get loads so they pushed them to Thursday and pushed me into some later day. So my third reset in the span of 9 days or so.

    Week 1 (3445 miles, 1 p/u)
    Week 2 (3194 miles, 2 drops)
    Week 3 (2636 miles, 6 drops)
    Week 4 (2828 miles, 3 drops, 2 home days)
    Week 5 (2994 miles, 1 drop, 1 home day)
    Week 6 (3110 miles, 4 drops)
    Week 7 (1951 miles, 2 p/u, 3 days layover)

    Week 8
    10/23-10/24 cont. to Farmers Branch, tx -- GP, TX --- 989/1587 miles (2 drops)
    10/25 another ####ing reset
    10/26

    Wow. No load until Saturday. Took the furthest #### load I could take to get away from Grand Prairie and the Carolinas. Heading to Oregon for a Wednesday delivery.

    Freight is slow everywhere for everybody.
    I've done more sitting in the past 3 weeks than I've
    Done since I've been here.
    Feels like I'm not doing anything and still
    Bringing home 12/1300 a week.
    Just not getting those 17 to 1900 a week checks.

    Doesn't bother me to much this time of year,
    been watching a lot of nfl football.
     
    majestyk and 28 Thank this.

    Actually loaded early so I took the southern route back through the house so I could get my vote on to have my tiny say in throwing these ######## out of office.

    It is in the ltl world too. I run extra board 5 out 2 home. Earlier in year we would roll into terminals and couldn't even turn the truck around with so many trailers stacked up with freight. Sets everywhere any way they could be dropped.

    Now went from 3300 in 5 days to 2500 to 2700 but its sitting at hotels for 4-5 hours past your 10. Some places no freight and dead heading out.

    Hope it #### picks up soon
