Had a little time off. Hitting the road again this morning. Ain't really much else to report.
...except tomorrow is a big day, especially if you live in Texas, Ohio, Vermont, or Rhode Island.

Last week the driver I was out with training in the arts of Coca Cola told me that a guy he knew leased a truck from someplace in western mass and got his loads off of loadfinder.com. He was able to pay his truck off in a year and now just works when he feels like it. This sort of thing sounds a little like a fairy tale now that I'm typing it out but I thought I'd ask if you knew of anyone who'd been successful with that business plan, O/O using loadfinder. I wonder whether it's actually just an online load broker. The friend he mentioned I'm pretty sure was also a flatbedder, which might just be inherently more lucrative but only marginally viable for someone with my lack of muscle mass. There might be a lot more competition and less money in dry van loads which is a complex as I want to get.
Coke isn't too bad, main thing that worries me is whether or not my back would hold up over the long term hauling the sodapop up stairs.
I didn't hate the road, I just really really hated trucking companies. I'm going to try taking a look at loadfinder.com.
