winter, for flatbed, still that much loads?

Had one winter where I stayed in the Dakota's and Iowa, delivering farm equipment to farms for the dealers. I was making a grand a load. Picked up a dozer on a Saturday in Lincoln, Nebraska. Had to wait til Sunday (football curfew) hammered out of Nebraska before noon, shot ver to davenport. Dropped that dozer ($1000) and picked up a smaller dozer and returned it to a dealer in Sioux city ($1000). That night shot up to Fargo to pick up at CNH to go back to Nebraska ($1000). Easy money.

Some times everything clicks and you have good days. I've found out that there are quite a few farmers that find out they have to spend money for tax reasons late in the year.

 

I can honestly say I've not had a slow winter yet. I don't know how or why, but a few years back when things got slow our boss had us trucking right along. And if WE are making money, then HE is making money!

 

Winters are awful, you should pull a reefer

 

Boss asked if I would like to take a month or two off this winter if we have a good harvest season. I told him I'll gladly spend two months in my fish house.

 

We are looking at hauling drilling mud to oil rigs in TX this winter if spot freight takes a dive.

 

Everyone goes to Texas in the winter. The money to be made is running IN/IL/OH/WI/MI in the winter months.

 

You left out Iowa, that's a honeyhole!

 

And Minnesota. When everyone migrates below I 40, there's money to be made above 40.

 

What is this winter you guys speak of?!?!?....haven't really had one in two years!
