    Here’s a place we pick up from where flatbeds sometimes load. I do see hotshots in there a lot.

    Might be able to find some power only loads. Maybe round trips. Never know what’s available or around the corner. April 2020, my neighbor bought a brand new Stoughton Dry Van for $36k, on my advise. Lol. Imagine if I only knew. Could have bought 2, sold one a year later, paid off both. Rates will drop, just as fast as they went up. Equipment prices should hold steady, till the demand drops. I’d hate to get caught upside down, with a high payment, holding the bag, when rates tank.

    Peterbilt Steve is saying he isn’t accepting any new truck orders for delivery in 2022.
