    I have actual ice boots also, but i was meaning my slip on cleats, that work on boots or shoes.
    I prefer to drive in shoes.
    My ice cleats take a few Seconds to put on.
    I wore them again yesterday in the snow and ice up on a mountain.

    'BINGO"

    Not sure of the thought process of "fuel money".

    If people didn't take the loads for that low, the brokers wouldn't be offering that low. Supply and demand. Free market. Speak with your money. Etc.

    Been plenty of times when I was the only one bidding on a load but the broker didn't want to budge from the low rate. I just wait, maybe even park near the pickup location. Shipping deadline nears and I get a call asking if I'm still interested and they accept my bid.

    That's what Whoopi says. Corporations are causing the high inflation.

    I'm just kidding but that is a nice cushion when their Ukrainian double brokers are having such a difficult time of it.
