    Here is a list of my March loads. They are all flatbed load board freight except for the one Cali load. Works out to be $2.29 per mile with dh included on all miles driven. Better than any month from last year.

    What a shocker. Another politician out of touch with reality. Wonder who's paying him to spew BS? Could it be the famous ATA? Ridiculous!!!

    All the articles about a trucking recession but this clown is pushing this crap. It never stops!!!

    It provides tax credits for singles who make less than 90k a year, are single and drive a truck. What about a Walmart drive making 105k is his truck time less valuable? Or what if you lie and say your a trucker. Then claim the tax credit. We have a huge amount of debt. I think government will mess this up to. I wouldn't mind a 9k tax reduction. Still have to pay fica.

    LOL, that was on C.H.'s board. I think they count the shipper and receiver as a stop each, but man, nothing like driving cross country for free!

    But, but…

    You get to do nothing but sit on your ### for days and look out the windshield. How much work could that possibly be?

    :rolleyes:
