See a lot of rates like that and higher in the Northeast here lately. Hope it lasts.

Rates won't stay good for long with that outlook.

There is no such thing as a 'backhaul', only good paying freight.

'backhaul' is an excuse to haul cheap.

"Backhaul"?

Interesting mentaility there. Run OUT from home base, then look to RUN BACK.

Nice if you can get a CONTRACT to do that (that pays well, BOTH WAYS) - but you RUN where the "freight takes you" (I am a leaf in the wind), and when it's time to come home - you look for stuff that will get you BACK THERE (even if it's indirect/smaller WELL PAYING HOPS).

Can also work a tri haul....I go from A to B. but From B back to A sucks....But Go from B to C then from C to A could pay quite well.

I'm learning.

I do a three-load loop every week hauling reefer. Although I'm going to tighten it up and readjust from my load out to being closer to the house so I can take the full weekend off at home.
