    No he did not. But the white Volvo sandal wearing comment did give that image.

    I think he's just a little high strung. He wanted to see that to start a fight that's all. But look on the bright side, if he's looking for stuff to complain about that means he's a real truck driver.

    I just parked my truck and trailer for the last time on Thursday last week. Went back to my old job. I was doing OK but it seemed that $1.50 was the new $2.00 a mile. So now I have an expensive toy to play with on the weekends.

    Freight was that slow up by you? I will be up near you this week, guess I can plan on coming home empty. You planning on holding onto your equipment and waiting for stuff to re-bound or you thinking long term hobby?

    No it wasn't the slow freight. I miss a lot of stuff. Cooking the most. Not sure what I'll do with the truck and trailer. I'll probably sell the trailer for sure. I'm in no rush to sell the truck. I may keep it as a hobby. I am giving up my authority though.

    Skate. Call mercer. Even as bad as the economy is right now, I'm still averaging good money. Sure it's not as easy as it was two years ago. But if your not afraid to break or the tarps you would do at least 1.80 over all right now. And more once you figure our system out.

    No one is going to hand over a list of their customers to you or any other random joe. You are going to have to put in the effort to find your own.
     
    SheepDog and fordconvert Thank this.

    No, I'm done. It's not because of slow freight or anything. I just miss cooking and a lot of other things. I'm a software engineer and went back to the place I use to work.

    And yes @mickcuster I'll still be on here. I can now be one of those arm chair truckers who profess to know everything and anything about trucking!!! lol
