    No it dont! The monkey is off my back! Figure it out!




    QOUTE! and third,,,, look at it this way you take a load 1.00 or 1.20 or 1.30 a mile you know theres no profit in it ,,,so then you spend 3 hrs loading this crap load ,,,then you spend 3 hrs unloading this crap load,,, when you could have spent six hours dead heading to a 2.00 load or 2.20 or a 2.30 load and leaving that cheap ### load But you missed making a profit cuz all your time was tied up in a losser load when you could of left it rotting on the dock!!!!




    So you would deadhead 6 hours to grab a $2.00 per mile load, in effect, knocking that down to $1.50 possibly

    Should have got paid on the way out man. Then the cheap crap is just something to do and some fuel for the trip.
