Leaving home today --- Kentwood MI to Chicago IL. ...and than prolly a wait. Send me South!! Drive safe y'all

Yeah, I can't touch diesel's R.O.I. in a gas powered barn door. ...I guess I'll just be a frog lining up for a hop to a better lillypad. Still liking the education, better than a cubicle so far.o_O

My advice as a fellow newb. Don't get too comfortable with how you have your bunk area setup...you wont get to use it, and inevitably, you'll be using it for a 3rd pallet. -- broker says its 2 pallets, expect 3...if they say "it only weighs 2800#" its 3500# All your stuff in the cab will fall...

No worries...I'm still trying to classify the type of idiocy I've entered into. laff. I lease equipment as an independent contractor, and drive a cube van (1Ton 12' - 3pallet), under exclusive dispatch from one M.C. Trying to figure out if its my efficiency, the bid rate, or deductions that...

Its April if my dispatcher tells me it is April. Too Late to move this now....unless I get deadhead. p.s. Yup.

I'm waiting till Q2 to deal with Taxes. For now, I am focusing on how to make all the stuff in my cab NOT fall when I get cut off 1256 time in a row on the Dan Ryan. ...The Flower to follow. Happy April. :eek:

Back home after 3 weeks out. First 2 settlements in hand, and boy did I work hard for no bang. My 3rd settlement should be much improved because we had back to back runs once me, the truck, and dispatch finally got into a flow...but now I am feeling guilty that I haven't been on duty for 2...

...They just changed it to 1600 *EST / 4pcs, 1000#... Thanks Murraycroexp

Loading (for my 1st trip) @ Muskegon, MI to Spring Hill, TN. What can I expect in Nashville on Fridays?

...but have you ever tried? :sailboat:

Lookout!! One more Michigander Greenhorn on the board for the 1st time. "I'm an excellent driver" -- question for the members here -- where SHOULDN'T I go on my 1st outbound from W. MI? also...how do you use a tie-down? *smirk* p.s. a 12' Penske box-banana cutaway is my ship.

I've never met a waffle-cone lobbyist :) Still wading through recruiters...I get the feeling they run ads in anticipation of "take this job and shove it's", but haven't found one ready for hire yet. Increasing to pumpkin spice level 2....but never ever go full "nutmeg".

Hello E/O forum, I've been watching you silently lo these many months in anticipation of my entry to the League of Extraordinarily-tired Ladies & Gentlemen. I've read more threads than toilets-flushing at a chili cook off, and will start calling recruiters this week. I'm always appreciative...
