True. I will prob. Or at least aim for locals and shorties. Although I've had in laws in and have been in for 9 days. I was WAY fortunate and ran from 0800-2000 last Friday. 4 miles DH on the front end and paid to get me thru home for Monday morning drop. $899 day for 610 miles. 3 "shorties"...
Turns out our 5 year old boy I having a minor surgery Tuesday morning. Looks like I'll be running locals Monday. In town all Tuesday. And roll after he's back home from outpatient.
All it takes, at least for us, is "Retract".
That's all. Just "Retract."
If they jack around and you get a better load, do it. Otherwise we send...
"Is this load covered?"
If no response, we move on.
That's pretty much how it happens. They want the load too and hate giving up. I had one take an hour and did finally get approval. Many time they have the load and many times they don't. Markups vary widely. I have had some take small loss on the load just to cover an I have had some marked up...
Correct. I get that. Life's too short. That's why I slowed down some. That was WAY back in 2012!!! I got tired of passing soooooo many Sprinters, cubes and Bolt CVs.
Correct!!! I drive slower now. I wouldn't a average that now.
72-73 max now. Even in the 75 & 80 zones in TX.
And I have 12' in here now. About to empty.
Florence, KY drop changed to Monday and I now have a little Cincinnati to Dayton (broker load) waiting for me after that. BADOW!!! Like it when 4 shorties ALL line up together. Oh, yes, I live en route between Ft Wayne & Florence. Nice!!
