Whether it is good or not depends on a lane. It looks pretty average today but would have seemed great one or two years ago. It may be great again in a month or two, also. 900 miles is a day and half on ELD. Not short but not long either. Sometimes, it is better to take one load of $2800 over the span of two days than two loads of 1500 and 1500 over the span of two and half days even if the mileage for the two loads combined is smaller (with reasonable proportions of course). I personally, prefer to have as few pick ups and drop offs as possible so those longer hauls work better for me. Typically: 2 days one way, 1 day to add something to the revenue and then 2 days a coming back. Or 1 day to connect to a decent load, then 2-3 days to execute the decent money load, then 1 - 2 days to return. Everyone has their own tactics and preferences. Tollways play a factor in my accounting too, YTD is at $7500, so far the highest ever. Although the lanes to North East and back hauls from there were more than decent, so I got it covered.

It s all good. Sometimes I spend longer than that on a load. I am seeing some loads to Cali for $7 Grand ,also the Pnw is paying well. Also the North East for flats.
