    I suspended my DAT account but now I can't see. Ahg! I am so used to looking multiple times a day I feel like I just quit smoking.

    I figured I just can't stand not seeing it! I figure I am parked for quite a while.

    I dropped my insurance down to minimums and have the truck in the paint booth for some detailing.

    Somehow is still getting worse.
    This is first year I can remember that flatbed rates were better in winter than in spring and summer.

    If you won't haul that $2 dollar per mile heavy tarp load somebody else will.

    A lot of freight is sitting on the west coast because of union strikes.

    I don't know what the latest is on those strikes though.

    Open deck should require its own certification to haul it. I usually hate government intervention but I keep seeing these guys #### #### up in dangerous ways.
