    Well I put the predator generator back in my 3 door vault. Less than an hour later power is off again. House gets cold with no electric heat.

    There's three (3) loads sitting down the street, literally sitting, loaded, two(2) go to The Ho, they're in the $6 hood, the other goes to Williston, it's $5.

    Can you negotiate at the star? Or are they take it or leave it rates?

    You can negotiate. But those are at the top of the scale.

    Those three(3) are good loads. They're loaded. No drama, UNLESS you get a f/u trailer.

    So many of these agents are so wtf slimy. If you muscle them you definitely bruise the WTF ego.

    There's one that won't even take my call, and I don't even know what we did to them. I don't recall ever pulling one of their loads.

    The egos at Landstarve are much, much, much larger than the largest HUGE MANATEE, and equally fragile.

    Iirc your near Lafayette. I'm off a highway it's loud. My dad's and step mother retirement campus. Is a duplex unit in a ravine in NC. It's sooooooooopo quiet. I got good sleep. Here 4 am till 11 pm it has noise. I wish I was in 3 miles off a highway. But that's not so easy to do if you want to park the truck on your lawn.

    I didn't see the $5+ a mile runs, probably gone. There is some good freight right now. Close to 4 a mile posted near me.

    LS has a bysentine office.

    No it's not. It's just lame. They have a mind set of pulling someone out of nowhere, that's of average intelligence, and plugging them into lower management.

    Here's the manual and company outline, get busy.
