    Woohoo Laredo. Day 4 stuck in Texas. None else get into the black hole and have issues getting their truck fixed

    The many joys of trucking.You can't win.You're either sitting waiting to get trk/trl repaired or waiting for a load.

    Don't feel bad, I'm thinking that only the dedicated accounts are moving anything. The spot market is dead too.

    Just checked the load boards I run from, a 3PL has 19 loads in Laredo.

    Ya, but the OP is Swift.

    And I'll bet you that none of those loads is paying more than $1.50/mile. So like I said, there are no loads to be had :)

    Swift yes but the loads pay nothing less than 1.78 per mile or more, I may be a saddle tramp but not a cheap one.:biggrin_25525:
