    Wow. First. Good that you’re still getting it.
    But I saw this coming mid last year. That’s why I got out. I started seeing Sch closing certain drop yards that the storm was coming.
    Freight- that’s was foreseeable when a company has contracted selected load board freight.
    Anyways, hope everything works out for you. Safe travels.
    P.S. it’s a matter of time before SFI puts a freeze on new hires. If not already.

    If all you're looking at is what the load pays your doomed to fail you got the calculate how many miles how much fuel and how much tolls and taking the consideration of time of pickup and delivery window for example 1200 load takes one day to deliver it's a home run but if it 4 day window only $300 a day there's a lot of factor in when choosing a load man the weight ,the mountains, MPG even before that you got to make sure you can get a reload, also ditch that phone and use a chromebook, or laptop,
