    Should you take what they first offer as the load rate?

    You better go work at McDonald's if you are even thinking of taking brokers first offers, you might make more money. Sometimes I book loads for double of what they offer at first.

    I would say $ 3000 because nothing from FL, fuel price is high, no parking, ppl are high, temperature is high, humid is high.

    I'd say I can take it to Virginia for that, and you can find another truck to get it there the rest of the way.
