    That's out of Florida, though. Was it ever much better than this?

    Yes a little better. But there were also twice as many loads a few months ago. It’s down overall.

    Insurance companies are already saying they can't cover the claims. Too big, too many.

    I told you guys insurance companies don't exist to cover claims, that's not what they are in business for.

    They exist to sponsor golf tournaments, make commercials, and develop real estate.

    Just like all the companies that can't survive a few weeks or a bad month.

    Guess maybe baby's $800K diamond might need to go back eh?

    I dont know if Sureway is ATS Sureway.. Im kinda thinking theyre a chicago clone. All those horrible loads have been reposted for days.

    Just stay out of florida unless you have a homie booking you mellons to get out. Im not seeing enough money to go in and bounce.

    All I know is that it says “powered by ATS”. It’s the only load board we can use if we don’t like their offers. Occasionally I see one I like.

    I’m just checking here and there. Gonna turn my truck in soon. Lease is almost up. Getting cabin fever :eek:

    Was taking some time off anyway before I went back to St. Cloud. Not gonna keep this truck. Still exploring options. Was just gonna let them use my reserve account to cover costs while at home. Have money to spare there and have some for me after. I obviously never counted that money.

    Thinking about buy a tractor on my own. We’ll see :)

    Guess I will post this here.

    As told to me by a good friend of mine today. He is a Pastor.

    A Pastor friend of his on Long Island, NY called him last week and asked for advice on how to perform a graveside service. The man is newer to ministry, so has never had to do anything like that before.

    An older man in the congregation died early last week.

    The church, including the man who died, had just all been together at church a few weeks ago before the restrictions on public gatherings were enacted.

    The man got sick a couple weeks later. Developed a fever and breathing difficulties. Was taken to the hospital. They put him on oxygen and he was dead by morning. His family never saw him alive, or dead, again.

    Turn the page. The Pastor went to the funeral home with the man's only son to begin the procession to the gravesite.

    The funeral home workers came out in full hazmat gear and cautioned them to stay back!

    They (family) followed the Hearst to the graveyard where they were all instructed to remain in their vehicles.

    Graveyard workers in full hazmat garb retrieve the casket, place it immediately down into the dug out hole and cover it with a large heavy board.

    They then place orange safety cones around the perimeter of the grave 100' in diameter!

    Then instruct the family not to cross the perimeter and to stand 6' away from each other while conducting the service.

    This is like something out an apocalyptic movie or t.v. show.

    They either know something about this and are not telling us, or it's being blown way out of proportion!
