.05 cents per mile! In the real world, that's $0.0005 per mile. :wink: But I do find it strange that a few short months ago, Steve was scoffing at loads that paid this low. Now he's excited about them.

Steve,this happens to me EVERY TIME I want to leave TX. I used to do a little more than just hang up on a cheap load if I was really bored. :lol: I would readily agree to do it for .90cpm and than give them another carrier's fax and mc number. :lol: It would usually be the carrier that ran off with my escrow money several years ago. By the time everyone found out what was going on the cheap broker was scrambling to find a truck. :lol: Sometimes I would have my wife call back on the same load and they STILL were trying to broker it out for .95cpm. :lol: I have no idea where these idiots come from.

I just crossed over into PA about 50 miles ago. It started snowing maybe 1/2 an hour ago and it started to stick immediately to the road. Went from 65 to 40 in no time at all and real slick. Nothing for the tires to bite onto. I've already done 350 miles since 2am so it was time to take a long break, eat and fuel up. Nothing like having full tanks when the weather gets bad. I hear we are suppose to get 4" or maybe more. I think it's time for a nap and stare at my Paris Hilton naked champagne ad for a while.

Took a little snooze this morning and 2 hours later all the snow was gone and it's been raining the whole way. Made it to the last service plaza on the Ohio Turnpike, what a dive.
I saw Doghouse going the other way on 90 but either he doesn't have a CB or it wasn't turned on. No mistaking his truck for sure!!! It's an eye catcher. Still was able to do my 600 miles today so it was a good day for me. Now, if I can keep that up and with the difference in time I should make my Monday morning goal I hope.

Real math = 600 miles a day X 4 days = 700 miles short of a Monday AM delivery :lol: :lol: :roll: :lol: :lol: |
