    Can't complain, I'm still here running this cheap freight. I'm at $1.51 all miles this year, and that giving up 35% or more.lol I'm hoping things will get better when the ELD starts next month. If not, it can't get any worst.

    Depends, could be a couple pennies or up to .63 off depending where I go.
    Yes E-Logs, I don't make the decision on that.

    One thing to think about is guys on paper now may feel pressured to book a load with the 14 clock ticking. That could send rates into the toilet.

    One thing to think about is drivers won't be able to fudge their logs anymore, thus less truck availability.

    30 minutes before heading out from my house to Charlotte, I was checking the load board for a follow up load to my MO delivery. Saw my NAL was Charlotte.

    Oh-oh.

    Called in and indeed my load had cancelled. So, I’m taking another two days off. It’s nice to have that luxury.
