I just had a nice 700 mile deadhead from Hermiston Oregon to Stockton California.

 

700 miles is a long way to pay a driver with no load!

 

Longest deadheads I had was from Nova Scotia Canada to North Carolina empty, picking up potatoes to Nova Scotia and back empty. Did that for a few weeks, about 1200 miles empty, nice run

Or San Antonio TX to Lexington SC to pick up, 1200 miles empty.

 

Jealous, I grew up not far from Stockton

 

I do it all of the time. Take a dog food load up to Walmart Hermiston or Sparks Nevada and the shipper pays for the empty return trip. I do a C&H Sugar run from Crockett to Seattle and then dead head back from there too.

 

I deliver in Ft. Myers Monday, then deadhead back to Laurinburg, NC...my company has rack van loads that deadhead back to the plant you picked them up at, no matter how far away. Take a rack load from Church Hill, TN to SLC...deadhead back to Church Hill

 

My longest deadhead was from Cheyenne, Wy. to Caldwell, Id. last November. 750 miles empty going across 80 was not real fun!

 

At least you're not paying for fuel.

 

I just went from KC to my company yard in MI empty. 815 miles.

 

Daaaang! I think the furthest I've gone empty was to pickup a load in the northwest. Was like 480 miles I think.
