    Home Time Didn't Work - DH 2200 miles UT to NC

    Dave,every milegae contract I've been on has lost me money,mileage is fine if you get the miles,but most of the time the companies want to save their money by wanting you to wait for them to load you without dead heading you if they can,plus when running mileage,it is never as high as you will...

    Home Time Didn't Work - DH 2200 miles UT to NC

    Tony,I dont think heading to Ca. would have helped your cause,you would not have made it home by saturday.As i stated before,if you made any money over your out of pocket expenses,for that load,you did ok,but it will take a little while for you to get even with the extra dead head miles,as in...

    tony heres how you have to look at it.if in fact you did a round trip and put any money in the bank then it was to your advantage rather than sitting home that week,but if after the week,and you actually spent the money you were making, then it would have been better just to have stayed home.If...
