    Finding the Best BBQ in America -- the Rendevous

    Being from there, I always try to make it. Their meat and cheese tray is also good, just in case you'er not full before/after the dry ribs. Corkeys comes in at the top as well. Every time someone new goes in there I ask, "did you look up?"

    Eating my meal this morning here at the J. When I went to pay my bill, the manager came out and said it was taken care of. A husband and wife paid my bill. Thanks. Could be due to the Express-1 shirt I had on, they must have felt sorry for me. I thank you who ever you are.

    A buddy of mine called me after the call. "What you think, I like it". He called yesterday after running a few loads, said he hated it. One run paid 375 less than what it use to be. I asked about the others, he said it's not working out. As for me, I've been caught in a under 300 mile rut...

    Why wait? Hoping like the rest of us, that somehow it will get better. Your loss will go up with more miles. Your fleet owner may not wait. I don't know how many units he has with E-1, X one trucks loss by that number, he will not wait long.

    Run it the way you see fit. I am doing the same thing. Sometimes you cut the paid miles off by going a different route. Ever thought about asking your wife? lol

    bernieh48 Based on your numbers and using 12 loads a month, comes to $2,585.00 per year less. $18.00 less average for your 4 runs this month, if you do 12 loads, $215 less average per month X 12 months, = the 2,585.00.... The 12 loads- 0.4 your average for 10 days this month X 30 day month=12

    Well, hold on to your lugnuts. It has not worked in the past, (cut rates increase miles ). Define insane- doing the same thing over and over and expect different results? Or- If it aint broke, keep fixing it until it's broke. I do wish you luck. All of us.

    Yes midwest average and yes to the rounding down... Now what if, ( if-lol), they bill the customer the national average and give us the midwest average. Another thing is you never get 100% of what is billed to the customer, only 100% of what they say you get. 1 customer may be billed @ .04...
