I don't know Doggie was hearing or thought I heard something else...like not under any circumstances.....If I am wrong at least ya'll know where I stand.
Guy in a Sprinter the other weel in Laredo was offered .48/m to get out of Laredo....he turned it down...He'd been there 6 days..I guess his...
Man you shoulda come on the brown side....the N/W...
we use M. S &Trips and the carriers and the atlas and somehow we manage....
When we get to a T intersection we ask the good Lord for directions and He's correct 50% of the time!!!
Lets stay with straight truck talk and prices since most of ya are of that persuasion...So I haveta DH normal 500-1,000 miles to get home you mean I should turn down a 1.15/ mile run?? and why??? On principle???? Not highly likely...it's your principle not mine...don't push what price you need...
piper...your carrier do income averaging??? As in making everyone equal in pay?? DX does , you make too much too soon and they sit you out till others catch up....
I run thru that tornado in Little Rock early Friday Morning 3am and delivered as fast as I could cuz I knew they were open all night..thought I might sleep and get a Friday afternooner..but lo and behold the Load Gods weren't on my side!!!
When it's busy for us as a team in a Sprinter if we need sleep we have to go out of service...we don't get the luxury of a 34 hour restart...they will literally pre-book us and run our wheels off...
That was my exact thinking....BUT I would have had to turn down a 675 mile one to do that...and that doesn't seem wise neither!!
This biz could drive me crazy if I wasn't already there!:D
I can't speak for you C's D's and E's but for us Sprinters at E-1 if it's rated at Sprinter rate it's the same rate as non automotive... CV rate kinds sux though...
Lets see..
we are coming off the end of a quarter , it's the first of the month, FSC is high, and all them GM plants 28 now shutdown...maybe by next Thursday!!!! *LOL*
Careful there Greg WE are also a part of the general public...When and if fuel stablizes and frieght rates all this talk will disappear and all will go back to the way it was....always does. Nothing ever gets done....Someone will throw us a bone and we'll chew on it for awhile till it's gone...
I do know for a fact the air is dirty east of the Mississippi....spend a week at my place and then come back east..your eyes will itch for days till they readjust to the dirt.
