Ya ya ya. I'm on the side of the road in a rest area about 500 miles from Little America WY. I'm waiting for a fax to come in then taking a load back to Massachusetts which is about 1/2 an hour from my house. Man, you can sit for a few days with no loads at all in some places then drive for 1 day and look at 300+ loads. I'm learning and will either ask for more money in the future to go to bad freight spots or not take the load at all.
The load I'm getting today is 1,000 miles and paying $2.00 per mile. I have 2 drops though, one in Quaker Town, PA then on to Mass. No tarp but need chains. I like chains.
Met an old timer at that Little America truck stop and we talked for almost 3 hours about this and that. He said I definetly have the right attitude. He said it a few times but really not sure why.
He tried to get me to take over his route for him. He hauls split firewood from MO to NV and something back again, can't remember except over $2.00 per mile. It's his own business with his brother. I thanked him and said that would get real old quick and I was having too much fun roaming around. Once again, the right attitude he said.
I've only been out 2 weeks but it's registration and inspection time so I might was well do it now. It's always something I tell ya.
