    Downsizing the boards???

    My take on boards being virtual or anything else. In 7 years have never had a empty move work. Waste of time, waste of fuel, waste of hard earned money which is getting harder to make. Any empty move I have taken I have always had to either DH back to where I just empty moved from or they want...

    Deadhead and team miles

    We to have gone to the all miles paid and no longer worry about the DH miles. I'm sure if I figured out my DH it would almost be as many as the Loaded miles. This has given us more opportunity.
