wow...tried to tell ya you should of just deadheaded home to get your tags...no need wasting money on overnight fees
Funny, It seemed like a good idea (you had) haha. Any other time it probably would have worked. I never got to live out the Laredo horror story's first hand. When it's dead, it's dead. I did move down to McAllen, I'm pre-dispatched tomorrow on a horrible load with a horrible rate, that I can't get rid of till Monday and of course no room to sleep so will have to motel it. But at least I will be out of here, I don't know if I will be coming back any time soon
last night I got 26.1 mpg....averaged 25.3 on the whole trip...
Glad your gettin out... I would have done the same thing without a second thought....on the tags...and the load out.Funny, It seemed like a good idea (you had) haha.

would be IN....thats the load I mentioned earlier.
I love my permanent bunk. I can sleep while loaded.Funny, It seemed like a good idea (you had) haha. Any other time it probably would have worked.

but...in this case...it sounds like that was the only thing that got him off the border.
May be. It cost me a load this past weekend, 1200 miles Friday for Tuesday delivery, Troy, MI to Orlando. I got to the pickup and the shipper needed (and requested) 12 feet, I only have 9 feet. But it's not a load I would have wanted if it meant nowhere to sleep for three or four nights other than a motel room. Been there done that got the wifebeater. That load did pay well, but the additional pay really only covered having to sit on the load an extra two days for the holiday, and didn't really cover 3 or 4 nights of motel rooms.
Of course not. I've never denied that more space would almost certainly mean more opportunities. How could it not?
The problem comes when I need to grab an hour or five of sleep in order to safely continue on a long run. Getting a room for that isn't practical, and neither is pushing myself to drive through it. I've done it both ways, with and without a permanent bunk, and for me, a permanent bunk it is.
Perhaps you should add, "in my new truck," or "gotta fill my bank account."
