I probably shouldn't take these loads
 

Shipper is 25 miles from our delivery.
Delivery is 37 miles from the yard.
10,000 lbs, no tarp, step deck legal
shipper is open 24/7....no appointment
pays $1150 on 404 real miles (385 practical)
I'm sending 2 trucks.

Too good to be true. Wish me luck.

NO, I think that would be a real bad idea! :lol:

You might make a mistake and actually make a profit, and have to pay taxes on those loads.
:wink:

Good Luck

I heard a loud sucking sound, but I thought it was just my mother-in-law coming nearby. No, it was you!

Re: I probably shouldn't take these loads
 

It went like this Pepe:
outbound load: ~475 miles.
DH to reload: 25 miles
loaded: 404 miles
DH back to the yard: 37 miles.

Oh and Silvan, you'll be happy to know it went off without a hitch. :lol:

You should have went for the heavy load 120 miles away from delivery going 310 miles from your yard paying $1.10 :)

He would have, but the Landstarve guys were fighting over that one, I think it finally went for $0.95. :lol:

Landstarve, LMFAO!

Well, the freight SUCKS in my home town right now... I have been sitting since Monday looking for a load, and it's noon Wednesday now. I refuse to haul for a buck ten a mile, so, here I sit. :x

Good for you, Mountain Flyer. Sometimes you may need to deadhead to find a good paying load. When these shippers and/or brokers don't want to pay a decent rate, I figure it is better to let their product sit on the dock or let them buy their own trucks to haul it.
