    True, it's not ideal. But I remember a time that many would have done the stops plus gave one of their nuts to get that kind of rate. :)

    There may come a time where one has to seek out the less desirable to keep the cash flow up.

    I’ve been there and done that. If I was 20 years younger I would be looking at some of those loads.

    I made some good money 18 years ago running floral stock into NYC. They were all on roller racks. Not floor loaded

    3.92 per gallon is the best I had last week at Austin MN. Seems like this week it’s all in the 4.30-ish range with our discount.
