    OMG.......we have reached the point where the bigs don't even have the decency to pay lip service to safety. I'd tell the folks at Stephens, "don't stop blowing me when you're tired, stop blowing me when I'm done."
    This is really the worst. My goodness, they don't even have the decency to lie.........

    Wellllll I still haven't fixed my apu.. soo yeah :oops:

    There were 4 of the same loads going to Texas.
    I took some time trip planning and running numbers on multiple loads getting me out of there to see if it was worth it.
    When I decided it was worth it ALL the loads to Texas were gone already lol.
     
    TennMan Thanks this.

    ThermoKing in Charlotte are EXCELLENT!!!! Whenever I had a problem, I would call them and they would take me in around other people. Never had to wait to get in and never took over 4 hours depending on the repair.

    You can also try the Thermo King dealer in De Pere. They have always done well by me and I don't think anyone knows more about them.

    I have been there but they don't like pets. Had to stay outside in a snow storm with my ferocious tea cup yorkie. It was warranty work that SFI was paying for. Only reason I went there for the second time. First time I didn't have my dog and it was warmer.

    Maybe you can work your way up the coast and really get the experience of the western 11 to have first hand experience to share about the board and rates.

    I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to do with myself once I get there.
    However I'll have some time to follow the load board until I get there.

    Little bit I know is that leaving CA pays good but anything else out west pays crap.

    I'll probably go to CO and then take a cheap load back to the midwest.
