How far would you dead head to get a load

I dead headed from the ontario t/a (it was still a 76 back then) to boston ma one time. They offered 3 cheap loads. Said this is best its gonna get, in the winter doing household. Said f that and went home. Loaded out the house a week later.

 

Someone is going to make a voodoo doll of you for saying that. Lol

 

buhahahaha

 

I drive van mostly short haul in the Northeast . Normal deadhead is 25-50 miles . I'm always deadheading out of CT . I won't take their cheap freight . I can dead head 100 miles and make an extra 150 - 200 bucks on my next 250 mile run . With fuel low it's more than worth it .

 

Where do you deliver in ct?

 

It's always random , mostly around Hartford . You can get good rates coming in . Hell if you didn't Id never go in. CT is so unfriendly to trucks . Pay to park , no parking , the worse drivers etc .

 

Lol I deadhead into ct. Last year from Harrisburg, buffalo the year before, Maine, all over southern New England, NYC, nj. Deadhead to CT.

 

Where's good rates into CT from? & give me an idea of "good". I just got a dry van the other day. Not something I ever done much of. I'd appreciate some pointers.

 

You can get 800-1000 flat rate from Harrisburg area to ct ,ma . 400-500 coming back out . Big difference right ? Never deadhead to CT . You'll be broke before you know it .

 

Oh. Well I'll do what I do, you keep doing what you do, sounds like we each have something that works better for us. I have yet to delve into van freight. Sounds like I should just stick with what I'm good at.
