    How much to convert Volvo to Straight Truck?

    $100 a day is enough to live in luxury! :D Held up at the Quality Inn tax included $52 a night 4 star rating. Never really have to pay more then $55-60 a night through choice and if the rates are high you can use your points.

    Maybe a better way to put it is what is a carrier that will allow you just to run those loads I will also run to Denver or Minneapolis from Tx on occasion. The carrier I'm with now allows me to go wherever whenever but I'm needing a better rate.
