    Bare in mind this often included oversized loads or Ioads where a partial was added on.
    Or a 400-500 mile tarp load often paid $2000+

    The volume just isn't there anymore to support these type of loads anymore, it's become more and more rare.
    I've noticed when diesel went up the shorter higher RPM loads disappeared more quickly than usual also.

    Nope. Fuel taxes in Cali amount to around $.71 per gallon, and there are only 6 or 7 refineries authorized to distribute fuel in California, we have CARB to thank for that. But at least our air is so clean!!!

    Pennsylvania holds top spot for highest fuel tax. Cali needs to step up their game.

    when speaking with @blairandgretchen he said the same thing. Find a set of parameters that works best for you and stick to it when it comes to OS/OW.

    Fuel is almost under $4 gallon in the most awesomest state after discounts.

    Freight is about $4.50

    The rates have broken through the earth's crust and are going back up the other side!!!!
