    I never said i disagreed with you.
    Remember freight is crap now as well so I'm just doing what I can.

    My next load wasnt ready till later in the day, my opinions were to sit for a couple hours and deadhead there or make $200 and bring a load there in route the 40 miles or so.
    Everything worked out and I made my money but I ran out of hours and will be sleeping in a side road in west Chicongo tonight.

    Normally I would not touch a load like that but it made sense to make some money with a filler load with the extra time I had.
    It was a painful process though.
    At this point I don't think all the BS and sleeping on a side street was worth it though.

    Yup. Me too. Beechnut Drive. Moved in right after it was built. Still dirt lots around us and across the street. Went back for the first time in 2007. Lots of memories.

    Gotta come out and say the load board is pretty sad. It's not rates but loads, there's barely any loads.
    Vandalia use to pump out loads constantly, now barely. Fort wayne use to be pretty good, now it's dead there.
    Indianapolis is slow too.
    Northeast forget about, that looks sooooo bad right now I won't even consider heading into that black hole.
