    LOL

    Dude,.. shingles out of Kankakee are paying off the chain right now.

    Its #### good everywhere right now. You just cant expect to be in the middle of no mans land with 1500 other rookie O/O's who got suckered into the same area all competing for rates to get out.

    I wouldn’t be surprised if I hit double my ‘all miles ‘ figure this year, over 2015 figures (when I started).

    Platform, some specialized, not all.
     
    spyder7723 and Tug Toy Thank this.

    I am seeing an increase like that too. I just deadhead a lot more. Not enough patience in me to sit for more than a day. That's just mental. I always move towards home as soon as empty and grab whatever freight en route.

    Had a crackstar (Landstar) broker tell me "rates are paying pennies on the dollar because of the ELD". Yeah, thinking it is time for him to to get drug tested.
