I loved the small loads, they paid alot more per mile than large ones, and could make a good day if a person got enough of them that day.That is what I did in 89, and I made a killing at it, while being able to be home at night 5 times and weekends off. But,of course, things were different back then.

Yeah, when you are on a percentage, usually the shorter the load, the more pay per mile. But since I am now on a flat rate, the longer the load, the more money I make, still the same pay per mile. :eek:

Sioux Center, IA. The bugs sound like rain on the windshield.

The consignee said he'd special request me if he gets another one. He liked the time I made.

I'll slow it down a bit heading back to KC.

Silly works, this is always my favorite thread to follow. Not only is it people relaxing instead of trying to drill their opinions across, but it is the least biased glimpse at how the industry is doing in real time.

oh yeah by the way, hi all! Back to lurking :D

Wife just walked in the door ..... said there's a wild turkey in the backyard ..... walked over to the window and sure enough ..... first one I've seen here at the property, although I did once see about 20 of 'em within 5 or 10 miles of here.

Put shelled corn out on a regular bases and the turkeys will be there all the time and there GOOD to eat.
