Trying to break that habit, first offer was to ST Louis which I did a month ago, but didn't get it today, Elkhart call was for a late one and thats hit or miss on getting unloaded in a timely fashion, I left it on the table. Just getting a little fed up with Elkhart

After 7 weeks... Yes I do, I prefer south and enough time on the load to not run the toll road everyday.

some dispatchers don't seem to grasp the cost of them toll roads especially at todays rates....
operators at carriers that pay all tolls should be very thankful they do so....
when my dispatch says something like Chicago to the east coast I am very careful on saying yes....75 cents or even .85 is NOT a good rate some times when they can't be avoided....
Westgate to Eastgate...

I agree, turned down a Chicago yesterday because of tolls and with no reimbursement and the fact its more then likely a empty move home resulting in more tolls.
No wake up call this morning so I must be in the dog house.

How is that Pilot? Did it get remodeled when Pilot took it over? I haven't been in there since shortly after it opened as Pipeline. I found it to be extremely loud with sound bouncing off all the corrugated steel panels. Once was enough for me. I used the restroom, bought coffee and left.

I'm confused (at my age, it's easy to do).

Why the difference between a cargo van and a sprinter?
After all, a sprinter is basically just a tall van. Still just 4 wheels.
