All right ... let the games begin. I'm looking at the load board and there's 22 loads within 500 miles of the freezing cold McDonald's in Winnemucca, Nevada where I'm sitting right now. The funniest load is this one: an LTL from Idaho to Northern Ontario (2,000 miles) and the load is 20 ft long, weighs 5,000 lbs and pays a whopping ... $1 per mile. I was getting bored so I sent the Special Agent in Charge this message:
"If you don't find anybody to do it as LTL, I can move it from Idaho to ON for $6,400. I'm in Winnemucca, Nevada."
My thinking was this: it's 2,857 miles from my location to the shipper to the consignee in the tundra of Northern Ontario and then from there to my home. So I counted ALL miles (including the deadhead on both ends) and multiplied by 2.25. If they say 'yes' that'd be something But it does deliver in a desolate place. There's no loads out of there period.
