Booked for 0500 pick in Frankfort, IL. Yep another long D/H, Drop in McAllen, TX. No mileage Woody, just can't turn those numbers down. Fingers crossed.
I guess that my post showed a bit of my frustration. Last Western swing turned out a lot better. Wrong time of the year. Maby give more time before moving. Anyway with any luck the average's for the year will improve as we get over this slow period.
Relocated to near Bowling Green, KY last night. First look at the expedite lanes since leaving Detroit the 12th. All miles 5938, loaded 3083, gross $3718. Enjoyed the good weather, was a nice brake from winter. But dang, can't say it was A good round.
Load was a bust, this shipper was looking for a certain carrier, wasen't us. Denied pickup, load sat. Our carrier treated us fair, about 15% less then if loaded. Now west of D/FW with 300 more miles on the odometer:
Loaded, after checking weather and finding freezing rain on the southern route, taking a chance on snow in the mountains. Drop Monday morning, day tripping.
Nice, check out the sunset cruse, Americas Cup 2, we had a great time, two mast sail boat, smooth ride, seafood, wine, beer.
Booked Chi town to Woodhaven, day tripping.
