    Nice try.

    Nothing comes out of middle of nowhere region so you'll have to deadhead back down to Seattle to get a load.

    In total that trip is 5700 miles including Deadhead out and you're barely above $2 a mile and run the risk of running over a moose in the middle of nowhere.

    Viking Sven was his name, had to give it up due to back problems if I remember correctly. LongFLD types faster

    One of my favorite threads on here. I go back and read through old posts of his when I’m bored or have thoughts of adventure.

    What happens if you have a break down in that vast middle of nowhere route?
