I understand learning lanes but at the end of the day theyre over 3000 lanes if not more . learning them is impossible. Learning trends will get you further ahead. If you pull a reefer stay in reefer lanes. Pulling a reefer to Houston your not gonna get a fair rate on a backhaul even if the markets are good.
Finally got my own truck

I also don’t get why OP was fixated on running to Fla all the time instead of a different approach, such as see above. But I’m only up to page 30, perhaps it gets cleared up. -
Oxbow, Driver Eight and Bean Jr. Thank this.

Congrats!You'll do fine.Just keep your chin up and the greasy side down.

I could see doing 400 miles at $900 to get to an area that pays $1200 for the next 400 miles but that’s about it. Example being Indy to Green Bay and Green Bay back to Indy.
Keep reading, the OP was nice to take us through his journey as he learned himself along the way. -
Why he'd want to is a different question.Oxbow, Driver Eight, Bfr38 and 2 others Thank this. -
I don’t say I’d WANT to (run 7 days like that). Too many docks. Just saying I see no reason not to take a 400 mile load that pays 900 dollars unless there is a better one. And a guy said NEVER EVER do it. Still hasn’t been explained,. But I will read on for answers to learn from. That’s what it’s all about.
