December freight & fun

Score for you! Anyone know the going rate for a van out of Laredo right now? They don't seem to be striking the hook at .60

.75 seems like a good number.

Reminds me of a time about four years ago a bunch of drivers at a certain carrier sitting around at a certain unnamed Coney Island in Detroit bragging beating on their chests "you'll never catch me running for under a dollar a mile" WE were crowing....fast forward to the present LOL

Ehh, I'm okay with leaving for .75 cents out of Laredo in a day and a half. On the facebook group "life of an expediter" or whatever, I saw someone sitting there for over a week...

My record is six days, then I dh'd out and got out of Houston the next day. A guy sat here 26 days back in 2011 (?). He's now in an office

What all those illegal loads are going to come to a complete and sucking standstill because people can't make up their minds once electronic logs become mandated and we have no choice but to turn down stuff. I've actually been sitting for nine hours so far today waiting for someone to make up their mind about what you're doing on three different jobs needless to say I haven't gotten a single one of them and I'm just gonna head back home it's Friday

Well this wasn't a illegal load just a illegal offer, And I got another one for Louisville on my 10th hour (later that evening)
I pretty much run legal now. (Try to )
With all the electronic devices and different ways to place me somewhere, I ain't taking chances anymore.
Once we go full boat electronic log I will accept anything legal and if things go south either at the shipper or enroute, I'll still have the freight and the compliance issues becomes dispatch issues. Not my fault if they send me on a 150 mile deadhead and don't take the deadhead into consideration.

Getting the feeling I'll be spending the weekend in the Carolinas. I could think of worse places to hang out. Already exceeded my minimum revenue goal for the week, so I'm cool with what ever happens. Although, one more run would be nice

They never even think about it on my end!

Well, I should know better than to doubt Murray. Right after lunch we were discussing if we should head home for the weekend, BANG, on the way from Greenville NC to Austin TX. Kind of changes the week in a hurry.

Ntimevan - me carrying green and yellow too.

Periodic - on I-20 going thru Atlanta now, I just waved.

Akks - I feel your pain, so far, so good but I am very concerned with my Transit Tranny.

Xmud - .60 for team is acceptable if you REALLY want to go somewhere else. Otherwise, .75/.80 for a team is correct in this market
