The "black holes" are roving around these days. Seemingly. There are several areas we used to love to go to and even those are harder to get out of at any rate these days.
Everyone has a bad week or two here and there. Hopefully the good ones make up for it. But, by design, the market is adjusting and the market will flush out any carriers and trucks that cannot withstand and adjust with the "market corrections".

Yes, she IS my best asset. It turned out to be a combination, sort of a perfect storm, of things. It was seasonal allergies, allergy to a medication, AND a bit of a summer cold to go with it! She will be fine and we plan on going back out on Monday. Thanks for asking.

There must be demons afoot out there; I got desperate enough to bid .80 on a run from Conyers, GA to Alexandria, VA and DID NOT get it. That is patently ridiculous :mad:

I only bid .80 because Alex is 150 miles from home, and my brother lives 10 miles south of it. I haven't been home since 7/15 :(

I had hoped to earn at least $6-7K being out this long. Not even halfway there. I now have $90 in the bank, a twenty in my wallet, and a 3/4 full tank, all to get me 800 miles home.

Got one yesterday from Sparta, IL to Toledo, OH but dead headed back home to Dayton since there were 4 CV, 2 Sprinter and a ST within 40 miles and only a sprinter in Dayton. Had one loading at 4pm in Lebanon, OH to Jasper, AL but it got pushed back a day then cancelled...got an 8am pickup in Cincinnati to Lebanon, IN direct that I hope to get a follow up on tomorrow

I really hope you get a good load then because being out that long you are right that should equate to more earnings
