    That’s its home. My thought is I’ll stay away from it and it stay away from me. Seems reasonable.

    So there's a chance we may go from $1.50 to $1.70 loads. How exciting :biggrin_25523:

    I’ve been looking for a new local job for a couple months. It’s been very slow. Lucky to get 40 hrs. Market is tough. Finally found something decent. Steady 12 hr shift, 5 days a week.

    I’d like something like that maybe only 10hrs a day though. But with how things are thinking stay where I’m at. For just little longer.

    This is why rates suck and won't get any better soon. Ridiculous amount of trucks out there.

    Saturday night middle of nowhere and staring at this at the fuel island.

    Didn't use to be like this!
