    My favorite one is still the one where it's like "Its impossible for a 13'6" truck to hit a 14' bridge" "Very photogenic swift driver: Challenge accepted!"

    I'd need about $4500 a day to do the Newark to Mass and back load. Gotta have money saved up for when that run gives you a stroke

    Van rates went to 2.07.

    I laugh when I see that number wondering just how cheap some are running to put the average there. I even beat that this week from Arizona back to Arkansas.

    If I were at that when I left, I may have still been at Schneider. Just wasn't possible for me where I lived at Scheider's rates out of my home area were horrible. For $1.51, I would have to take a short haul down into Texas, then not plan on leaving Texas as long as I wanted to keep anything close to that average.

    try to go to Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and I was staring at .95-1.05 at best. Now I can get better loads going to the same areas $2+ all day long, and easily double it or more back home or anywhere else.
