    I would think they would pay great, but right on dude. You get your car or home up for sale yet?

    Hope everything else is going good.

    Out of curiosity why sell the House?
    I understand getting rid of the Viper but with the money you make I'd be paying off my home if I were you (my home is paid for by the way) and saving for retirement. I would think in your position being single no kids I would focus on paying off the house not selling it.

    I'm considering renting it also.
    Dunno yet which I'll do.
    I'm pretty much never home so it feels like a waste.
    When i do take off I've been visiting my family in Florida.

    An investment isn't a waste. Pay it off while driving OTR and make life easier when you hang up your keys.

    Ready for a good one...
    Booked a "relay" that was at a shipper.
    Ready since Friday.
    Called Schneider to confirm relay can be picked up being shipper hours said closed, was told yes.
    I get there, closed and gates locked up.. no relay trailer to be found.
    On hold forever to eventually get loads pulled off me...
    Go back on the load board to see the non existent relay load back up as an "available shipment" ready to be selected by the next poor Schneider soul.
    Oh it gets better about 30 minutes later I get a trailer spot load assignment to drop my empty at different location before going to get my no existant relay load that was already long pulled off me lol smh can't make this crap up.

    It's pretty sad load planners can't post accurate information.
    It's almost as if they randomly make up appointment times and hours as they go along.
