    Is It Worth It?

    And it's the exact same dock that I picked up an engine that they had lost on the dock for thirty days, and when the customer blew their stack, I was the one who could deliver it faster to save Mr. LTL's account. eb

    How many is too many?

    to the original question, i dont have a hard rule. even if it was zip to zip, and in the contract, and i had something close to 50 miles off of reality, i would call to verify that i was going to the right place. fifty miles can very easily equal an hour in time too. they might not mind short...

    First out

    CharlesD needs to first look out for himself when it comes to owning a load.
