Dave you know there are those that would say yes, because your supporting cheap freight and the end doesn't justify the means.
BUT then again there are the others that would say it's a good sound business decision...
Mt house is 400 miles still WEST of Souix Falls...Best thing we do is go tothe Beaverdams area and play for a Fargo or Gwinner out of Timken My dispatch will bid a Sprinter load to a CV load to get us out....and home. We see all you guys sitting in Walmart there!!
Our way of fun is putting a Frenchman in a round room and telling him to pee in the corner!
Whata expect from a country that has a Beaver for it's National animal!! We worship the Beaver!! ;)
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*
