    I think they screwed their own ads. Jersey city to Tampa isn’t but 1200 miles. I don’t think I want them doing my payroll if they can’t math better than that.

    It's only worth it if it's bottled water down and dog food back.

    I definitely don't have the answer.

    One things for sure, folks are coming from all over the world to drive big truck OTR here.

    The flood gates are wide open, and they are flooding in....

    Literally see this atleast 50 times a day, used freightliner or volvo with temp paperwork in the window. Lots with temp tags on the 30 year old wagon they have. Have no idea why this guy didn't remove the 19 sticker. He's off to a great start pulling a cheap ### container around though. Guess it's better than being a cashier at Citgo gas station.

    Are you sure? Can't believe they'd ship mulch that far? Atleast in my neck of the woods, mulch typically will ship max like 200 miles? Can't see them sending it 1600 miles to Oklahoma... Seems a little odd...
     
    Iamoverit, Long FLD and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    They make 2 to 8 dollars a day back home. 6 a day is solid for a lot of countries. A rice cooker and 25 # bag of rice. Make $600 a week in the truck, send 200 home. They are golden and heros back home.

    There’s not much else to load in Superior MT.

    Edit: I posted before seeing your info about St Regis.
