    If you read a couple of other threads you'd see the fella' i was reffering to has a lot of negitive things to say about daywalker as well as other people who have usefull posts on here. I was simply trying to defend daywalker and keep his thread from going into the crapper before this guy started his crap here. Sorry if i offended ya', but this is daywalker's thread so ill let him do the judgein'.

    I think Big R is in the right, I think there are some people who like to follow others and other threads, then spread their negative views.
    It won't be long before a simple criticism, will turn into a full blown pissing match.
    Take a look at where this stems from, a JCT thread that Big R, Daywalker, and Bigkid2 frequent. See who is positive and who had their feelings hurt and are the negative.
     
    BigR and daywalker24 Thank this.

    The Florida(Orlando) I Would not have done without the other run(Orlando to Jacksonville ),then from Jacksonville to Albany,Ga to Indianola,Ms then.... All loads under 19K and pay over a 1.38 per mile.

    Normally I wouldn't suggest going into Florida past Jacksonville because the freight pay is not very good at all but the load in and up to Jacksonville were pre planned and the second load was a big box full of foil cans(coffee) for Kraft/Maxwell House that weighed a whopping 6336LBS! ;)

    So yup I took it 132 miles $244 to the truck plus I used left over fuel from trip in(messed up sending unit). This was from my phone so bear with me I will update more later after I drop in BFE(Indianola) some good loads coming out but lots of dead head but will find something I'm sure take care and be safe EVERYBODY ;)

    I was also trying to get out of PA like everybody else(flooding)so the pickings were getting slim, so I took a chance and it worked out OK but bigkid is right do not go into Florida without a way out that will pay a decent amount I got lucky so far....

    Stay at or above Jacksonville to be able to pull a decent RPLM, I still have to find a way out of Indianola that is not a 45k lb load!! yee haw ;)

    You may be able to get something in greenwood or greenville. Both are just 30 minutes away

    Look, I am not saying who is in the right or who is not, What I am saying is this foolishness I see on here time and time again is ridiculous, we are supposed to be grown men, not school yard bullies, I HAVE read the JCT posts and have seen the criticism and I don't agree with it and Bullhaulerswife should not have to come in to see this. AS an Admin of Forums myself I used to watch posts from troubled people and when it went to far I baned them from the forum. You all seem to be nice guys, Daywalker, mustang and BK. I have talked with BK on the phone and he is not as bad as you think and I have seen him torn down as well, all I am saying is lets be professional and use the forum for what it is intended for, Information.... Daywalker I am sorry for dissing your thread and promise to make this my last ... I like useful info and both you and BK have done just that and I thank you.... to all the others ... Keep it between the lines :)

    Ok out of PA $1.57 isn't bad at all. I did not see that was where it was coming out of all I seen was that it was 941 miles. Am glad you got out of Florida with something decent though. I have access to Landstars BCO load board and freight within 75 miles of Orlando was looking to be paying about .80 a mile. That was why I figured if you went in at 1.57 and out at .80 it would only average 1.20 for the total round in and out. Since you were able to string several shorter trips out together it didn't turn out to bad for you.

    Actually if you reread my posts I don't say negative things towards people I say negative things towards a certain company then when people reply they go after me personally with insults. Show me on post please where I have insulted somebody individually.
