    You had me paranoid for a second there. I thought I got banned because I admitted (on another thread) to cancelling a booked load 24 hours before load time in lieu of a better paying load ;-)

    I don't know what is a good paying load and what is not any more. Especially, having heard that some of you were getting that $5 dol per mile rates. ;) Is it all right to go from Chicago to Wichita, KS for $2000? Probably not...

    Well, this morning I learned from a good friend of mine that one of his friends from VA died from the Coronavirus yesterday. Same guy's wife is in ICU with double pneumonia waiting for lab results.

    Bummer.

    Wow. I don't know you or your friend of course but I've got to say it's the first person I know of that even knows someone who has died or gotten sick from this. I'm not saying it isn't real or any of that. I'm saying that lately I've been thinking that if it's really this bad people I know or know of will start dropping like flies. So far....none.

    I don't know of any acquaintances, family or notable people at all that have died of this. Am I alone?

    I'm sure it's real but it seems more surreal.

    I am surprised you don't get blacklisted by brokers because of that

    I know it's a real shocker when a one-man operation cancels 1 to 2 loads a year!

    You made it look like it's a regular practice for you, not just 1-2 times per year
