    At home relaxing, been a rough month and figured I needed a break from the frustration. I will not think about trucking, a load or lack there of, only of how quiet the house is and how green my lawn looks. Does any one know what's on tv?

    Sacramento, CA. and all I hear is crickets..... Is there anything coming out of this state? Maybe it would have helped if dispatch had me in service yesterday? Why I was out of service I guess God and the person who did it only knows. Anywho, back to watching paint dry.

    last years rates

    It would be hard for me to compare rates with a solo driver versus a team operation. I do know that overall my loaded pay is about the same, but my all miles is way up !!! I am very pleased with things the last couple of months and hope they continue.
