    I'm thinking the same thing. I have been further in the hole than 540 bucks. So they are calling up everybody and getting ready to do a culling. Rates are bad. I want a short load to make sure the gauge cluster and the ecm isn't loosing power right now. Before I go a 1000 miles. I don't know part of me thinks just get a local job for a while. I believe we are going to get even crappier rates and then bounce back. But that's probably March of next year. But of course I really don't know. It will get better in November this year and December, then fail in January.

    And the economists say the recession, which is supposed to be the mother of all recessions, isn't even going to start until next year.

    Looks like that 5 weeks of sitting on the couch, eating tacos, and picking out window shades put Landstarve in a bind.
    You should feel really bad right now @Dave_in_AZ

    I've put in for some demos on load boards so I can see for myself what is really out there.

    But no one has contacted me.

    Insurance for myself with my own numbers isn't that much more than what Landstarve charges.

    And that's the first year even.

    I just don't know if I want to go round and round with some people getting paid sometimes.

    That is, or at least was the saving grace about Landstarve, you were going to get your money.

    Cause I know some of the people they deal with go out 90 days.

    Lol is that really a depression, that identifies as a recession?

    Plus like 6 million people are behind on rent. 4 million mortgages are behind. Unless that's just YouTube bs. The rent, if I stopped paying in LA why would I pay at all. They only just started allowing people to start the eviction process. That's good for another 6 months. Then they will finally get kicked out. Then rents will start to come down.


    We should make money in November and December.
