Exclusive use of truck

If the carrier's tariffs are priced as exclusive use and most expedite tariffs are, then the carrier shouldn't have offered to put another load on you. If my carrier offered a second load at full rate, yeah, I'd take. If something happened they'd be on the hook with the customers. Let them explain! I'd plead ignorance. I'm good at that. It comes naturally.
In a heartbeat. Like Moot, I'm just a driver, & I goes where they tells me to go. 
I've heard about a carrier that was forcing their drivers to take a second load for $25-$50... I don't know if it's true or not.
I'd ask the dispatcher to send a message over the QC saying it was authorized to take both loads, along with the usual load info showing rate etc., and then I'd take it and wait for the double pay. I might take photos of the QC screen for backup purposes also.
I've heard of one that does it all the time.
I wonder if we're talking about the same (Canadian) carrier...
Does it start with a R and end with a R?
Bingo. And there we have the rest of the story.Indeed...

Had a double load Friday night. Picked up near Detroit and started south to TN. Got a call just 45 minutes down the road. The same broker had another pu in OH going to the same consignee. Added 250 miles, but also added another $300 to what I got paid. Easily became over $1.00 per all miles including all DH.
