He's funny barks at cars but not at motorcycles. He's very much a people kinda dog. He will bark at you till you speak to him. Then barks as you walk away.

That's the way it usually works. When you only want to do shorties you get called for the ultimate load which you can't do.
Also I ve done 4 shorties for this week. Hoping for 1 more to make it an ok week.
Had two pretty good runs this week. Hung out in "Scott In Bama's" backyard after a Mercedes delivery, then got on a load yesterday Anniston AL to Aberdeen MD delivered this AM. Since I am next door to home I will kount my blessings for the two good ones I had and call it a holiday.
Will be back out Monday starting from Toledo area. My wife is going thru orientation so she can run with me "sometimes". Meanwhile, can someone recommend a good place in Toledo to get my head examined??

I'm just sitting here updating loads tonight. I finally got off the road again because of health issues. I'm back to dispatching trucks. I won't tell you the name of the carrier I'm currently working for, but it's good to be back in the dispatcher seat again!

I hope the road has been good to all of you. It's just a sad state of affairs right now within our industry. I was recently outbid on a "team dock high straight truck load" that needed to go 1200 miles in 24 hours. The bid was 1400 dollars for 1200 miles. How can anyone move a dock high truck for that kind of a rate? I ended up getting another load for my truck that paid 2 dollars a mile. I see cargo van loads going for under a dollar a mile. I don't see how anyone is making it on these kind of rates. I know the brokers are making a killing off of the loads they broker out on Sylectus; because they tend to cough up some big money when they really have to. I will do my best to try and keep the rates up on my end. I never bid under a dollar a mile on cargo van loads, and not much under 1.80 per mile on straight truck loads. I think we all need to band together and stop lowering the rates! And for those of you who have ramps on your box truck to make your truck dock high just to undercut straight truck loads, shame on you. There's a lot of shady stuff going on out here right now, and it's up to us the dispatchers and drivers to take a stand against it.

That buck a mile translates into . 80 a mile my end... Which is reasonable and quite profitable for me! Just saying... I would consider the unit you are bidding it for ....
