good loads to get drivers back to turn in their trucks

 

So what I got from that is you avoid the clean clothes like the plague or better yet the NE lol

 

The heavy loads up here usually pay well..so I haul them.
I never threw in with the people who said to always run light.
Sure it would be nice but realistically you have to run anything that falls into your lap that pays good.

 

I believe you are correct when it boils down to the numbers. However, I was curious if the size of the load would affect your profit fuel wise.. to the point where a lighter load would end up being the same profit wise?

 

I'll put it this way...if a load pays low rate but is light as a feather like 10-20k lbs or less I will haul it if it meets my business goals, and heavy loads of its a low rate,i will only touch it if it's a short run under 200 no because anything over that for 40k lb load is not profitable for me...$2mi and up on heavy freight I pull on,runs that are 300-500no because I can still make a profit to my requirements for my business..

 

Great perspective, exactly what I needed.
