    We have that TSC account in Massilon, OH. Animal feed and heavy. Not bad loads because the stores unload you immediately.

    I don't mind heavy for what they are paying. Especially considering they are diminishing loads. I just booked another one for Thursday.
    I deliver to TSC's everyday Monday -Thursday with a load to Bj's squeezed in on Wednesday to supplement a really short TSC load 2300 for the four of them aint half bad.

    Hey Steve do those loads still pop up on the board? Did they go dedicated?

    I did my accounting myself for the first time this month and i tell ya the numbers make way more sense than when ATBS did them. Once i get the P&L from atbs and ill compare.

    I made 1.51 on all miles and made a .70 profit last month. I'm going to aim to get into the .85 - 1.00 range for next month.

    With Fuel prices cheap i think this a great time to get into the Choice program and learn the ropes. Even if volume isnt great right now I'd like to think anyone can run cheap and survive until better rates and volume come back to ALL markets

    I just looked and it appears they're still on there. All the loads in the next few days are to Western PA and are $3+/mile

    Great! I might just have fun with this customer we will see.


    I really mean other markets I haven't noticed to much of a difference in rates in the NE, But i've heard rumblings about crap rates in other parts of the country.

    After two days of doing these deliveries to TSC I like them way less miles and the same money i was making before. They also unload really fast but the locations arent designed for a 53 and sleeper. I might be able to get through a week on one tank of fuel considering im not really going far. I'm booked through next Tuesday with store deliveries my only concern is a normal delivery that might cancel and through the program off.

    The stores tell me they had DW Bowman before we took over I appreciate them losing this account, I just found my Niche I might have to move to Harrisburg and make myself a local IC lol. Nahhh thats a joke

    From the looks of the load board we also have TSC loads out of St Joseph, MO. Just a guess but they pay about the same.
