$10 x 100 miles is $1000, $5 x 200 miles is $1000, both good, but you made more profit on the shorter run,so nothing wrong with short high rate runs.

Speaking about chains, in truck driving school I had an old teacher with many millions miles under his belt. He said that 'you put the chains on to get out of trouble, not to get into a bigger one'. I will put the chains on so I can get off the road and park until they clear the road. No freight is worth our life. In my 10 year expediting career only 2 loads were affected by snow. One I couldn't get to, so they gave it to someone else, the other was about 5 hours late. The receiver on this one did not even know it was late.
