low rates, No profit

[Chamberpains]

Yup, I parked my truck today.
I just can't see working for break even. The rates and load availability have just gone to below what is worth me firing the truck off.

But the time is not getting wasted. I dropped the trailer at the shop to have the axles pulled out from under the trailer and fully gone over and reversing the slider to be finally florida and Connecticut legal. I've been outlawing it for 5 years with this wagon in those states. I also found my next truck. A 2010 KW T660 with 3:55 rears and a 13 speed. Its got 580k original miles. Im picking it up tomorrow and gonna spend the down time demandating and going over it, running overhead and freshening the engine and sensors up, and prepping it for its new life in open air fright. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll have the new truck up and running, a freshly renewed trailer and cross my fingers.... an economy that will support the down time and the money spent on getting my business in great physical shape.
