The 4. Big 3PL. Two mixed carrier & brokers. And the other 1 a big carrier and broker as well. Bee in my bonnet!!

Ok, if any reader was offended by that I apologize.

Just lost 4 more straight at $1.00 per mile. I don't even want to know how cheap they went for. And YES, two of the dispatchers ARE with carriers that PROFESS not to be RATE WHXRES!!! Lurkers, too. Ask your girl what she just covered that load for!! Then pat her on the back and say "Good...

DRAMA = I just bid $1.00 per mile to get out of Detroit. I have run well for the dispatcher several times so he shares the winning rates with me when I'm not close. I lost to a 73.9 CPM bid. Needless to say, I think I'm done emailing "Hey, XXXXX!!!" To bid. Arsehole!!!

In Detroit area waiting for my consignee to open.

Ya, I was in Cleveland TN Tuesday night and woke to a near-dripping ceiling. It was WAY humid!!!

Excellent!! Clean inspections are GREAT for carrier scores too!! Although its the O/Os duty, I used to GLADLY give out $10 Speedway gift cards for clean inspections. It wasn't much but drivers always seemed appreciative for the small gesture and a warm handshake and "thank you".

Memories!!! My dad installed a kit 30 years ago. It was crap!! I'm guessing technology has come a ways since then.

I'll look up that app. I've been using Mileage Keeper but it doesn't break it down to the mile. Just per-tank and average MPG. Thanks!!

LOL!! Wow!!! I got sucked right into that one!! I did go through the same issue with one of my trucks I bought from Freightliner Frank in Cincinnati. I ended up arranging a meeting between my driver and the Allison regional rep. He plugged up his laptop to it and "turned on" 6th gear. But I...

That would suck. Is it getting good satellite signals when this happens?

amen, brother!!!

Depending on where I am overnight, running without a/c overnight, my CV usually ends up coated on the inside with a lot of condensation. I keep thinking its gonna rust from the inside out more from this!!
