Fellow E/Os I did not go out of service at all in December, I was at the house for X-mas and most of X-mas eve even though the truck was underload. You gotta prepare for these slow months, I have a nice little nest egg, and am just making ends meet here in January with a little padding so not going into Dec profits.

When the freight is running you should be also or your gona be talking to your creditors if you run your business on credit and not cash.

Its not easy to be away but this is what we do, I ran real well in December, and should have stayed out in November much more. Being home for X-Mas is high on my priority list, but thats just X-mas day and eve I did not make a vacation out of half the month of Dec but will in Feb and right now I just may stay out a couple more days in Jan after reading some of these posts.
