    Come to Dallas, DFO......report on how NAVIGO didn't really improve, it simply added more useless, redundant stuff.

    near as I can figure, its self-deprecation, wild imagination and just a little bit TS lunch counter exaggeration . And Details. lot of details. helps to set the scene.

    Nope only been to Texas once. Probably won't go back. Didn't like it. Good going in but crap going out and really ****ing weird appointment times. I only liked the load I got out of there that paid over 3k. That was an awesome, fun load. But its near impossible to get and near impossible to get TO in order to pick it up. Haven't done midwest in a while either. I go to Ohio sometimes. But that's about it. You go first to the NE and report back. One of us southern boys gotta do it but it ain't gonna be me LOL. I don't have the patience either. Today I drove roughly 550 miles and about 500 of that was interstate. Other than going through an interchange I cancelled the cruise control once for merging traffic. And that isn't any exaggeration I promise. That is how I like to spend my days. The way I am running now just depends purely on loads. I have found several areas with multiple customers that I like, and what I do is bounce between those areas depending on what loads are available from what customers. Sometimes a triangle, sometimes a square, sometimes a straight line back and fourth between just two customers. Each group of customers is generally within 50 miles of eachother, so if one doesn't have the load I want, the other usually does. I run PA, NC, VA, GA, that's about it. 100% drop and hook, 24hr drop windows, almost always have empties and if not there is another customer nearby that does have empties. Took me about 8 months to figure it out but I'm very happy with it now.

    Pretty much, this truck is either on 81, 95, or some state route in GA.

    Check the main Schneider forum page shortly for a rant on that one, was planning that on the way up from GA today LOL

    My truck is like a bishop in chess, it can only move diagonally between 81 and 95
