    Every load I call on with decent rate has multiple stops.
    Of course they won't put that info the load posting

    I just keep doing what I do. Once the rates get below my minimums, I'll stay parked.

    Taking the week off. ^^^^ what he says. The regular outbound I've been doing is on hold for this week.

    Finishing up polishing the wheels on big red. Made a trip to harbor freight this morning. The big DeWalt was getting heavy Lol. Bought this cheap sucker for $34 and some accessories.

    So far it seems pretty good. Didn't see the RPM anywhere on the box but it seems about 2000k maybe a tad more

    Before and after with the 93. That wasn't with the blue bar. I'll hit them again in a few weeks. Just brown and green

    I'm tired of paying lazy deadbeat junkies to do this for me. You've inspired me to start doing it myself as well. I'm thinking of getting those stainless covers for my tanks so I don't have to worry about polishing them along with the wheels all the time.
