Still waiting on my DOT, kind of. I watched my info on our long haul website and my info did not get updated. Late morning I finally called the office. They kept me on the phone while the looked everything up and got me cleared. I thought.

As of tonight I am still not cleared to run.

I would have pushed it harder if something good had come up. We would spend an hour at a time crunching the numbers then we would find that there was no money or that the trips had been taken. We have gotten spoiled with our trips to the west coast. We get something both ways and make enough in 10 days that we don't need to work the rest of the month.

The trips we are looking at now that pay half that much at the most.

Two runs that were 150 miles apart going to NC were are best option. But it could be tight making both drops in one day.

2nd best would be Draper UT, but there is nothing coming back.

3rd on the list would be OR. But because of the price of rental cars, we would make about half as much as we did last week.

4th and worst that we did the math on was Greer SC. On this run we are back to our minimum when we started driving. Before we learned how to really make money.

Staying on the trips. Runs were being added and taken all day and we were watching all day. Sometimes hitting refresh every few seconds if they had been adding orders.

Just before close, they added a Concord NC. I thought I tried to do they math and rental cars were NA.

Now later tonight, BB has looked at rental cars and found one for about half the price that we can get to from anywhere in NC. We may need a local rental to get it, but it would be worth the money.

So first choice in the AM is Mocksville and Concord. 40 miles apart, we've dropped at both. 2nd choice is two to Greer, with that one we would get a local and pick up the same rental in Concord.

But if we watch the board there is usually trips coming out of NC. But they do not stay on the board long.

I sent a message to my long haul company about the paperless logs. No response. Tomorrow I may try emailing the log company themselves and see if they can help.

Load board

US - 323

IA - 128

MN - 17

WI - 6

Because we had lots of time looking at the board trying to make anything work, we saw that there were 18 of the bus sized motor homes out of IN, plus 8 more of the smaller ones that we only get overflow of. The longest trip of the large RV's is going out to Junction City OR, 2,300 miles.

The longest run on the board tonight is 2,600 miles. From north of Seattle to WV ... in a straight truck.

We will both be on the phone tomorrow AM dialing at 8 AM.
