    Many brokers don't take the time to email, if they are desperate enough they will.
    I do email only when I'm slammed or am just not in the mood.

    Posting your truck puts you in a position of power, especially it's there's a lot of loads and limited trucks.

    Here's a little fact about us truck drivers...
    By us moving all the time our experience of "time" is different than those standing still.
    However slight it's still pretty cool.

    Amazing video

    Makes perfect sense. The faster I go, the more time I have to get to my delivery.

    The faster you go the slower your experience of "time" occurs in relation to others standing still.
    In other words time is an illusion.

    Interesting mind bender. If I'm wrapping my head around this correctly it means if I sit at home, time will move quicker. Thus winter will be over faster.
    Jesus, I hope I don't have this backwards.

    Your experience of time and aging is the same no matter the speed you're moving.
    However the faster you move the slower in relation your experience of time will be to those at stand still.

    Example you go the speed of light for one month. To you it's only been a month, you only aged a month but if you come back to Earth it could be 1000 years later.
    It sounds crazy but it's scientifically been proven time is not a constant thing, motion changes the experience of time.
    Our idea of time really is an illusion and time travel is possible due to this scientific fact, though it would take extreme speed for it to be noticeble.

    I find it fascinating, even more so that it be can tested and documented in real life.
    Tests have been done putting an atomic clock on an airplane flying around the Earth and then afterwords the clock showing a different time than the clocks sitting on Earth, not by a lot but indeed a difference.

    Those flease carriers are making a fortune off those streering wheel holders!

    Passing most all the cost onto them while fleasing them a truck, paying them 1099 on .90 something cent a mile and FSC.
    That's highway robbery!

    My company driver earns a whole lot more than a JCT flease Operator on their best possible week.

    I'm leased to a carrier but I tell you what if I could lease O/Os onto me and pay them $1 a mile and keep the rest it would be like hitting the lotto.

    I truly wonder if any of those O/Os running for a $1 a mile did any homework at all before pulling the trigger on such Insanity
