    An outlaw said when you see a load like this, it’s time for snake mode? So I’m supposed to start hissing when I’m in the backroads. $4,200/231=$18 a mile. Not bad.

    Remember. Every reefer load is 10%+ heavier than listed. At least in my experience ;)

    Also they probably put down one too many zeros.

    You might be disappointed if you call and get the details. I see loads like that posted from Danville va to Danville va.
    The load is actually Danville to Dallas back to Danville,so roughly 22-2400 miles.

    Im already here. Now to play the Coca Cola game in Connecticut. I’ll just drive around their plant with my doors open, they always fall for that. Like a cat seeing a toy ^_^.

    43,000 lbs shouldn’t be a problem. Go for it!

    I haul overweight if it pays right. Learn to read a map or use truckers path and avoid certain situations.
