Do you guys think Monday - Wednesday will be busy this coming week since it's the end of the month? I'm sitting in LA and hoping for a Sprinter load somewhere East or TX-Chicago-FL. I'm wondering if I should bid low and try to get out in fear of Thursday and Friday not producing any loads. Lets...

What kind of truck are you in? I told everyone 2 months ago I wanted to get a strait and they all said stick to the sprinter so that is what I did.... lets see if May can rebound. I heard a rumor straight were only getting 1.50 a mile, that is like a quarter to 30 cents more then sprinter after...

Thought I saw you driving in Greenville the other day? What kinda rack is that you have your generator mounted to?

Bring it up another 10.10 and I'll park the sprinter and hang the keys up. :)

Duncan SC was the last TA stop

It was 41 here in NC this morning around 10am.... is there a trade off in effect?!

I carry a stack of about 50+ TA fuel receipts with me at all times. Anytime I need a shower I just go up the clerk after I've fueled and say I'd like a shower with that... (25-27 gal tank) and it always works. I get a discount through my carrier at TA. Last fill was $3.60 a gal with the $1.50...

Ended up being a dry run so I've relocated to Carolina to see if I can grab another one to Laredo. I hope this coming week will be better then the last.

I'm not even going to say how cheap I'm taking this one for... about $350-400 less then everybody else would have. I sat for 8 days in a area that is known for a lot of freight... I had to check in a hotel just to keep my sanity. :) The first offer for Laredo out of NC... I missed because I...

Keeping the dream alive here, finally got a load to Laredo tomorrow with only 10 deadhead miles to pick up and of course the deadhead to Dallas on Tuesday. From there I'll be looking to get west. AZ, CA, NV... would anyone know if Dallas or Houston has more runs going West? San Antonio/Austin...

Slow yes but Atlanta and Charlotte are in the top 10 busiest cities for expedited freight.

ok nice you head to Dayton I'm going to Laredo or West Coast I'll settle for NM or CO at this point. The problem here is there is a food chain in the carrier system. I predict in the future it will be all large corporate carriers and guys with wifi on their trucks that book loads in truck stop...

Are you in a cargo van or a straight truck?

Not sure what is going one but sprinter loads are few and far between this week in Charlotte and Atlanta. I guess I'll just blame it on my carrier. Tomorrow is my last opportunity, Friday is do or die. Still sitting in Greenville. Gunna sit this one out and hope for the best, looks like today is...

Started in 2010 when I bought my first Sprinter. I'm on my 4th now. All 2006 models. Maybe I'll get a new one... one day :) I hear the newer ones are nice. I wish I'd bought a new one in 05 and started back then.

Three offers today to WI MI AND OH (bid them all at a buck a mile) as Atlanta and Charlotte are at a all time low (sitting in Greenville), let's see if tomorrow something will give and we can get me going to Laredo or West Coast. I don't even wanna talk about how cheap I will be bidding. Let's...

Guess if you're not on with one of the top companies listed here, you will have a hard time making money. I have found that true last couple of weeks. Trucking Company Directory - ExpeditersOnline.com

The only reason I had to run this load for so cheap is because this is scrap freight that 20 scrap carriers are bidding on. I don't work for a real expedite company that has their own accounts. I work for one that bids against 20-30 other vans/sprinters in the area. I bid a load from GA to...

I agree... I pay $100 for insurance and zero for QC fees. I'd rather pay the QC fees and be working for a real carrier that can get me real paying loads. I'm still researching the right one that doesn't have forced dispatch or some percentage program where you don't know what you're making...

That is what happens when you run for a large company like I used to run for Panther making .97 and never had to go under contract rate. And I also got regular bonus where I could make even more then that. I went to a smaller carrier cause I got tired of forced dispatch. I don't have a...
