I went to Walmart this morning and at 7:03am It looked like a Friday afternoon. The canned food is still wiped out. The frozen food was at about 50%. The fresh meat was about 30% of normal. They were putting out rotisserie chicken when I walked in and normally it’s 11:00 when they put them out.Dino soar, PPLC, Brettj3876 and 2 others Thank this. -

Just be careful what you haul. There will be something to haul. I'm sticking to known brokers, bigger brokerages and (known) older contracts. I'm also not going to haul something with a risk of waiting days to be loaded or unloaded (water, paper, cleaners) right now.
It's no guarantee but you do what you can. I am pretty ticked that 2 of my regulars have cancelled their quickpay in the last week. A mix of quickpay and slow pay (30ish) is how I find balance.Dino soar, PPLC, TallJoe and 1 other person Thank this. -
My last load was a mix of "wipes" and dry food stuffs. As noted, I was at the shipper for 6.5 hours, got 4.5 hrs detention, However, the receiver unloaded me in record time. To which I was sorely disappointed because I came prepared to hop into the bunk and sleep and wake up to a good 6 hours or more of detention pay! LOL
Alas, it didn't happen. Isn't that the way it works out sometimes. When you DO want something to happen like that, it doesn'tDino soar, Dale thompson, Midwest Trucker and 2 others Thank this. -
Aint' that the truth! Still, I think the times call for planning wisely. You can be I'm not going to be late for a strict appointment these days!

I do have a $10,000 credit line at my credit union. The APR on that line is 7.5%, which is cheap compared to quickpay rates of 2% to 4% these broker firms charge.
Using a factoring service like Triumph is out of the question for me since I got into this gig 5 years ago. Those full recourse advances can be dangerous.Last edited: Mar 29, 2020

I created this meme. Posted it over on another thread, but thought I'd put it here too.
No offense @PPDCT it's just a joke
