When you say "most of our dealings", are you saying you bought this used truck sight unseen? If so, and you didn't even look it over enough to see how bad the tires were, then shame on you. Expensive lesson learned.

Logs/HOS come into play at 10,001#.

Have you heard that CVs are gonna have to log soon? Any day now... LOL...

Who are you calling "you people"?

I totally agree with Moot! If they told you you there's nothing within 400 of Chicago, they're telling you they have no freight. I can't see any reason for you to stay another day. If you put a carrier list on a dart board and throw a dart, you're probably going to do better.

He does seem very introspective lately. I'm guessing it's either transendental meditation or a flashback from something he did in the 60s.

I agree that this is probably the best option you have. Putting a driver in it is just a potential for headaches that will make the situation worse. I just can't see the miracle you are hoping to find. Really, would pay more for something than it's worth?

For a guy with a female body part on his shoulder, Rocket comes up with some very spot-on opinions. I couldn't agree more, one week on and one off just wouldn't be practical in this business. If you had your own authority and had local customers to work with, you may be able to make something...

That's a good number, and I can sometimes hit that on some loads. But, it's just not a number I can get at the end of the year looking at overall numbers. Some of that is my personal situation, living in a poor freight area. I spend some money to go home and get back to the freight. I'll stick...
