    Uber Freight

    I was under the impression you already had a game plan in place. Uber, Amazon, etc .. you will go broke making money for those companies. If you're looking for sources of freight now, you placed your cart before the horse.

    Pulling an All Nighter

    It's tough on a 500 mi run. They're isn't really enough time built into a run of that distance. Best hope is to get to the delivery early and nod off for a bit before they open.
