Aint you something....
First of all sir, i did, in fact deadhead out to Atlanta on couple of occasions before but this particular time I had to go home, as i was out almost 3 weeks.
I could have loaded pallets out of Jax :lol: , what pallets. $50 a piece and even so, THERE WAS NOT ANY to load. I do not have contacts in Florida like you succesefull millionares do. If i wanted to get out to anywhere I could, but not to my home in Charlotte. And any ,,getting out'' is CHEAP which i refuse to do.
You're gonna tell me that I could LTL out, when LTL is
all I do from Chicago and East and I know it pretty well.
PS
I went to a Schneider's website, checked their rate out of Miami to Charlotte, its $1.01 cpm, but am sure you have bigger contacts that National ever did down there...
I run dry van, and Florida had nothing worth looking at !!
