    Which run would you take?

    I'd be happy just because there was 2 loads to choose from and not sorry but this is all that we have, but being in your situation considering the system that you work with, I think that I would've taken load A as long as the weight wasn't over the GVW.

    you are correct Greg- if we don't adapt with things and think of every way possible , utilize all opportunities to make it work then we better just quit, we have to be as pro active as possible in these times.

    Any Advice would be appreciated

    I dont know for sure but I think that if the truck is inn good shape and can pass an inspection at one of fed ex approved mechanics, then they would probably give you a pass, again I could be wrong, but I have heard this happening before

    So you wanna be an expediter?

    Col- I actually understood what you said here,that doesn't happen very often. As for the quote " I was 7 payments away from owning the truck" doesn't seem like much, but were the payments, 7 payments of 2000.00 is a tough thing to handle with no work.
