    I been off 2 weeks... Got to steal someone's. Can't steal it in the NE. I was tempting going to Tx another black hole. I heard someone is sitting in El Paso. That's a rookie mistake.

    haha!

    Going west was working out well for a while. Nice change actually. Unfortunately, in the lower freight areas, the percentage of cancellations seem higher. Hence, ending up in El Paso :)

    I could come back out to Arizona easily again next week, but the struggles to recover from cancelled loads has made me decide to get back into the midwest area again.

    This will be the first time that I have been truly stranded in any location with Schneider. Well, stranded isn't really the word, but I just couldn't make myself deadhead an entire day just to get to another location.

    Can't wait to be moving again tomorrow though!

    $1.43 to get out there from my house in Arkansas. The TSC short loads pay anywhere from 3-6/mile. Easy to average 3 all miles while out there while they were making all miles available to us. There was also a solar farm job out in Colorado. We were hauling the panels out there from Goodyear AZ for a really nice rate.

    Cancellations and less TSC load availability is what pushed me to the El Paso area this week.
     
    freightwipper Thanks this.
