Denver?? Not good. Maybe take some "chump" freight to move, rather than dh. 1k miles is a stretch. I'd agree, when you hit a slump ya jes hafta try something.....however, when things are banging for you, the last thing i'd do is break the karma.

I deadheaded back to Lincoln and then got a run over to Galesburg, deadheaded to Chicago and got one going down to Columbia Mo. I checked the boards tonight and found out that one of the companies that I work for posted a load out of Denver going to Hermiston OR. It looks like I missed the one load that comes out of there a few times a year. They told me things were really slow out of Denver in recent weeks so I moved. Any how, going to Oregon probably wouldn't have been a good idea any how. We'll see what happens tomorrow!!

.

The term cheap freight is based on the user, most have an understanding that Bolt pushes rates down causing "cheap freight" for other companies. They also pay drivers whatever they feel like so driver A that gets $1/mile is going to look at a Bolt driver averaging .85/mile and call it "cheap freight".The guy with no run or that is just starting will be fine with those rates, you just want to be profitable.

At the Pilot near Petersburg, VA. Delivered near hear this morning. Pick up near here this after noon, going to OH.

Lebanon, TN and in service for a change. Wish I could have seen everyone at the expo, but last week was my first week back in service, and I needed the loads. Two and a half months in the shop hurts the bottom line.

Finally a decent week for a change. I got 1400 miles in 4 days with a lot lower deadhead than last week. I might actually put some dollas into the bank this week. It's been fun though, this is my second day in a very reasonably priced hotel room. Who ever said that 105 degree heat had to make you miserable. I leave here early in the morning to pick up my load going back to Saginaw Michigan. I hope Saginaw is cooler at night than Missouri. It was still almost 80 degrees with 77 percent humidity here last night.

Thanks.
I am happy that they fixed it finally. Hopefully the problem is gone for good.
