    The bitter end was six months ago. I just took a load for $8 mile. That's where my motivation level is.

    I'd be curious to know the state these loads originate out of?

    I pull a flat and from what I see every day the loads fly of the boards....

    More than likely those loads just don't pay enough, but then again even those cheap ones seem to move quick...:eek::eek:

    Yes this reminds me of Joseph in the bible where he wisely counsels Pharaoh of Egypt to save up and store up in times of plenty to prepare for times of famine. The trouble is big brother is always trying to get us into so much dept its rather hard to have any spare cash set aside. Its this another plan to set up the "New World Order" ? only time will tell!

    I’ve never had the government do anything to persuade me to take on debt.
