    Well I think sections of the Petro are becoming to a lot of the hoods with flatbeds like the Love's used to be in Tacoma. They are just kind of building a camp there. I don't think some of those trucks have moved since 2017.

    Man this load is a pretty big landmine stepped on. I've just about had it with the communist state. The laziness here is just unsurpassed. Couple that with the traffic and the freeway princess's and I just can't like it anymore.

    Yep Flatbeds go to Cali on a good paying load and then starve for a week before they settle on something cheap to get out.

    A while back talked to a couple of Mercer guys, and the flatbeds figure on 3 to 4 days down time before a load comes up for them out of L.A./Barstow area. Comparing notes I was pulling more per $ per day than they were.

    Sounds like you booked a load from a 3rd party warehouse like Capstone......

    I'd like to point out that there was one Post in the Thread Ur referring to by a "Regular" from the Back of the Room. That Post was offering advice to the Couple that were having problems getting back to Georgia

    Interesting Thread here, I enjoy reading it for the laughs

    Carry on

    Oh I know. I don't know why anyone would mess with it unless it pays that well when it's busy.

    No it's a direct shipper. One I get the monster loads from. I tend to take these for the team, so the others can have the monsters. Even the choice of monsters. I took it cause it finals in Sedona. And without really questioning where the stops were. Huge F mistake lol. It even pays well. But it's a lot of traffic, and a lot of California. All places I've been to before. When I saw the actual FB, I was going "F" lol.
