Truck Load Rates Halt 8 Week Slide 2.0

You're killin' me, Smalls.....

 

Be like every second thread on this sub forum. Least you’d have a reasonable understanding of what it is you’re doing n what you’re up against.

 

Do it. I would in a heartbeat if I wanted to be home. I might someday too. You know enough.

I still like to travel. I spent almost 10 years being home all day every day when I worked nights. I got so caught up and bored being home I'm still 'over it' almost 10 years later.

Life is a series of cycles. Every now and then change is good. Nothing has to be forever.

 

Amusingly, we never stopped coming in to the office. Got jobs to do. Easier to do it from work.

 

And you could wear pajamas, sit on your backyard deck and watch birds while doing it. I could even let my friend Jack Daniels to give me a hand with it too. Well... sometimes. Sounds better than good. Almost Heaven.

 

On the serious note, I've been pushing hard. I am running on the recaps this week and the next I'll do recaps too. I'm pre booked until next Thursday.

Still able to fuel under 2 dol per gallon here in Illinois, which after the fuel tax it goes down somewhere below 1.40 per gallon. Using Fleet One Edge,

 

Actually, I've been fueling mostly at the TA in Hampshire, IL which is close to where I park my truck. There I actually use my Comdata card (not Fleet One Edge) which is linked to Schneider Discount Fuel Program where I get 28 cents off the cash price at all TAs and Petros - all the time. That TA has had good diesel lately, which is good because before it did have that yellowish bio diesel blend so common for all of the Illinois.
This Fleet One Edge is good for anything else but often the discounts fluctuate. Sometimes they are outstanding, the other times mediocre. It is financed by the Wrex bank, so it is a poorer version of NASTC card - I wonder if they change the discounts too.
