    Don't limit yourself to the hand your dealt. I'm in the business of watching rates cause it pays my bills. And no, that's too cheap regardless of who is pulling it. I wouldn't pull that load for less than $850 because my time is worth more than $500-600 a day. If freight gets that cheap I'll park the truck. I don't work for free and I won't be in trouble either. It's called financial planning but I don't have a $1000 a week truck lease either. I learned my lesson after 1 year of that.

    Yes it can. It just takes a little more planning.

    Right now is a REALLY good time to be off. It's hot as can be out there. Had to idle in Wisconsin the other night. And I don't idle that much

    Naw.. I’m like a squirrel save my nuts for the winter. The rates tend too dip in the winter months.

    Yep. Unfortunately all my hobbies take place now but winter is the best time to be off. Lol. Too cold and rates usually drop.

    That’s true, I myself returned the overpriced SFI truck I had in Charlotte where they had the parking lot full of them as I never saw before. IMO the program was no longer the same. Now I’m local and I’m enjoying life with my family and seeing more income
