That is what i am doing watching my numbers go into the tank. I have sat almost every weekend for as long as i can remember. Or get a load of 200 miles for a weekend. I am nuts about my #'s and i have the lowest acc rate in my history with Panther. I love what i do i just don't know how much longer i can keep doing this. This weekend all load offers with miles are to the east coast where we all know means no loads back out so you do ok going in but lose it all coming back out. Most of the dh for those loads was over 200 miles and the best offer i got was a buck a mile.that pays the fuel but nothing for me and my time is worth something to me.
