    Yesterday I lost five loads. All five were gone in less than 10 seconds. More like five seconds. Finally got one at 3 am. Worse thing is the loads weren't really all that great.smh. if the bottom drops out of contract freight we are in for a rough ride for awhile.

    You cannot trip plan, google map, think or blink on any half decent load.. if you do you'll get beat to it.

    More likely the contract was renegotiated at the beginning of the summer like a lot of contracts are so the rate dropped probably more likely because the customer had Leverage

    And there you go. straight out of the horses mouth. Good luck Sadwar.
    PS... if your truck has a davco (small filter) and I think it does make sure to get two or three at the oc. Ta's sell the wrench. Might save you a unnecessary road call until you get the bugs worked out.

    A quick "what would you do" scenario for you all. Arrived at the customer to drop 45 miles from the house then go home. Was all set to BT home on line 5 since 70 clock was down to 30 mins. I go to check in and the yard dog tells me I absolutely have to take an mt. Uh oh. 14 is about fried, it's after hours in Charlotte, so here were my options.
    1. I sent a message in to dispatch letting them know. I could of waited for who knows how long for them to tell me what to do, while I watch my 14 expire. I couldn't of taken the mt to another customer anyway and couldn't stay at that cust.
    2. I could of hooked the mt and went to the local rest area and went home tomorrow, or taken it to another customer when I got recap back in the morning.
    3. Hook the mt, take it 45 miles home on line 5 and prey the Schneider Gods go easy on me.
    What's your call? I think you probably know what I did.
