    I'm a bit suprised that they put on it how much they earn from parking. Unless that bit wasn't supposed to be available for the public to see.

    Would be like a gas station saying "last year we made record profits, so we're going to upp the price of fuel. Thanks for the money suckers, but you gotta pay more so we can try and beat that record". Would piss off the motoring public quite a bit.

    Not about more for me. People hate us enough as it is, just the decent thing to do at this point depending on what you're hauling I guess.

    Here are the loads that I am working on right now.

    St. Paul, MN to New Hampton, IA – Weight: 48,071 – No tarp – Rate: $425



    Wisconsin loads

    St Paul, MN to Hayward, WI – Weight: 49,000 – No tarp – Rate: $275



    Kansas loads

    St. Paul, MN to Winfield, KS – Weight: 48,588 – No tarp – Rate: $900



    Please let me know if you have anything available. Thanks!

    Is this really worth a persons time ??? oh but it will pay for my fuel to bounce around for more cheap freight ........yet some clown still hauls if. Cuz they are afraid to ball up an roll empty or park it. oh but wait theirs more!! oh i am so excited there's more cheap freight.... go on the loads boards, you Sheepeople ,wheel holders most likely think this is awesome ,an will get rich quick.NOT its pathetic .
    Do the math an figure out the time to drive, load ,unload,an deal with the rest of the bull to do some of this stuff,not worth it.Ball up an park it,now is the best time .As scared as you people are to park it, they need us bad.more then you really know.best thing to do would be to put a big hurt on the mega,they deserve it the most

    Amberfelt I don't know the mileage on those loads but those don't even seem worth answering the phone. Nah, maybe I'd call them and ask "did you say St. Paul to New Hampton for $425? Uh huh. Yeah my friend told me about it. I just had to see how stupid you were for myself. Good luck!"

    Oh I can guarantee it.
    I'd take that to the press except you'd have to explain it to them using crayons.

    That, for the most part is self inflicted.

    Do trucks come with toilets yet? They sure seem to have everything else.

    Well, whatever that is? So long as we can flush it twice for the Whitehouse.
