    Seems like a sham. "Carriers are not our customers. We will not talk to carriers"

    So you and a broker get sideways over a load, and they post it here? Looks like slander would run rampant.

    I've told a lot of brokers to suck a ####. No tellin what it says about me.

    Oh wow. Yeah, no tellin what I've got on there then. I hurt a lot of feels early on.

    MF'ers act like I'm not in the same class cause I drive a truck. Hasn't happened in a long time, but there have been several near fist fights with mouthy loader operators, shippers, and receivers.

    I've had lots of calls from brokers tellin me I need to get my driver in check, cause he's disrespecting their customer.

    You'll not find anyone who starts with a more respectful attitude than me, but I lose it quick when they don't deserve it.

    I looked at the traffic cameras on IDriveArkansas.com and Drivetexas.org and traffic is moving good from Little Rock down well into Texas. Except for a truck wreck WB at the 83 where traffic has to take the exit then jump right back on. Farther west you get the clearer the roads are. For now anyway. Right now most of the weather is going well north or south of the I 30 corridor.

    The vortex shifted, I had my trip across all planned out, sliding through on 10 into San Antonio, Houston on over to Mobile, and then up 65. Temps were supposed remain just above freezing. Watched it just drop from 35-ish to now 19 and everything began freezing up in minutes. Defrost would not keep up with window ice, mirrors growing ice instantly etc. pulled off and dirt lot I’m in was unwalkable without slipping all over. Happened in minutes. I could have pushed on but I got extra time on this load so decided to call it a day. Temps now expected to dip as low as 14 overnight in the area. It’s gonna be slick out there as there’s so much moisture in the road and in the air. If you thought you’d beat this by taking southern route like me, BE CAREFUL! Check updates because it just changed.
