I have a great Qualcomm program. I don't have them.

Hmm...now why do I drive a Sprinter?

How will this impact the number of drivers these companies need and the average length of haul of those drivers?

If it doesn't, there's something wrong with the plane.

I have never had trouble parking at an east coast Wal Mart.

Oh, the old driver shortage mantra again. Where are my hip waders? It's getting deep.

That will happen to a certain degree on the freight that is bid on, which is why it's highly important to have something of a customer base or some good broker contacts so you don't have to just rely on bidding on all your freight.

Any carrier only paying a straight $1.20 is making a pretty good margin on that freight these days. The cheapest expedite out there at the moment, brokered loads off the alliance, is still going for over $1.50 at the low end, mostly higher than $1.60-$1.70. That's just brokered freight off the...

It didn't affect me much last year. We really don't do a whole lot of automotive freight.

Also, I had the pleasure of coming to your office in Detroit a few days ago. I was up there to deliver a load in the evening and I had another load pre booked to pick up a couple hours after that one delivered and when I got to the consignee there was nobody there and nobody was going to be...

Not to mention providing more good loads for some of your favorite partner carriers. ;)

Jacksonville, FL at the moment. Not a lot moving today, so I might head to the beach for a bit.

My AC has been goofy for a few weeks as well. It blows cold when I'm moving but not when I'm sitting still, which makes sleeping somewhat difficult, or just sitting in the van while I'm looking for loads. I had to order the parts and they came in yesterday, but I need to get home to get it...

Sitting in Lewiston, ME at the moment. Had a good dinner at Bob's Clam Hut on the way up last night. It's going to hit 90 up here today. I came north to find someplace cool, not this.

California is no different than any other state. Each state has its ups and downs and certain costs associated with taking a load there. You have to know what it costs to operate your truck and what your load opportunities are coming out of where you're going. There is not a part of this...

Stayed home yesterday and today, played softball tonight, and I'll be looking for something tomorrow. I was pretty busy today just dispatching and doing paperwork. If things keep up, I won't have to be on the road for too much longer.

I'm home playing dispatcher for the other trucks until tomorrow. I'll probably look for something tomorrow, but I'm going to stay home and play softball tonight.

Got a load home last night, sitting in my recliner about to nod off.

It was Howes.

I'm having a curious experience with my 07 Sprinter. It seems that every time I put any kind of fuel additive in, the van will go into limp mode for about 400-500 miles and then will go back to normal. I'm thinking the van just doesn't like additives and will go into limp mode until it's out...
