    A few mos ago trucks were abundant. Not now. The dealership where I do business has ONE new truck for sale and ZERO used inventory. 2 mos ago their lot was full of trucks.

    I thought so but wasn't sure. The load is only 15 totes weighing in a 44'780. So if they get rid of one row of doubles and have it singled out it should be darn near perfect on drives/trl

    I'm gonna go out on a limb and suggest a lot of these trucks have been purchased by folks leveraging those low interest longterm EIDL loans.

    Had a 0300 delivery appt today. Showed up at facility at 0245.

    Checked in, assigned dock, backed in and set the brakes at 0300. At 0320 received empty green light.

    I guess miracles are still happening today, or they just really needed what I had ;-)

    Working at these wee hours is a hard work in my book too! It must have been ALDI DC delivery.

    When they $3,500 on 775 easy miles, I have no problem with a 0300 delivery appt. I'm docked now on my next load which is going right to my hometown.

    Lucky you for being close to Pacific Ocean and the waves you can catch there...

    I have no clue what you're saying. You must have replied to a wrong thread.
