No sense in getting upset, its that time of year and it is what it is. We have one in Atlanta since Monday and one in the yard since Tuesday morning. Everyone sets this time of year and you have to prepare yourself for it, With that said, we have a couple of trucks we need to get moving. LOL LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!

No this is going to one of those years where Jan is super slow.....it seams to go in a 4 year cycle where it picks up for 3 years then slams into slow gear.

Reserved just shows someone that we are waiting for a bid response or customer confirmation on a load. They will still use the truck if a direct shipper calls in and just decline the bid if we win it.

We must be a close second in beautiful oregon. Was an awesome January, overall, though. Kudos to dispatch!

Got a nice load from LA to here, and was one of 4 remaining states for Joan to see. Fortunately, I remembered about the silly fuel permit in Oregon. Saved a $450 fine!
