That sounds like a gravy run, and if I were a company driver, I'd snap it up in a heartbeat. What sort of load/unload times will you have in Cranberry, PA?

No loading/unloading to deal with. As fast as I can drop the trailer and hook up to another one, I'm on my way.
If I would get to NY and have to sit and wait for the guy who has my trailer to get there, I get paid $16.50/hr. Usually never happens though.

Our best linehaul run pays $270 for 600 miles. So your run is even nicer!

Given where this is in NY, I'd run the hell out of it. Is this going to dry up suddenly, or is it a regular run that will go on forever?

If it is a regular run, then it sure looks like a pretty sweet deal. Try to seek out drivers who've been on that run, if you can, and see if you can get them to tell you the pros and cons of it.
