    There is more then one way to skin a cat,one can argue that probably you could’ve taken a shorter run at a higher rate and deadheaded the rest of the way home and kept the same cpm average without hauling cheap freight,or repositioned yourself into a better market and booking a load to go home that average more than $1.75 a mile.
    A lot of owner/operators (im not saying you do)
    Think that too much dead head is not good for business and try to keep it to a minimum and fail to see the big picture.

    brother, weather in general is offensive to them. Food is offensive, life is offensive

    One can argue anything. I'm at $6k on 2k miles and empty and done for the week, headed home after 4 days at $3pm. I'll take it.

    But, as for the big picture, there's always more to consider than rate per mile. Some brokers only pay in 30, or much more, this one pays in 2, and I don't factor so that matters. Less hands in the cookie jar.

    Some loads are 45k of retail garbage. This one was 13k with about 2 hours total dock time on both ends. Deadhead to said load was 12 miles. Deadhead to next one was 40.

    Lots of variables in me agreeing to a $1.75, and I can't remember the last time I did it before this week, but this week it worked.

    I kid you not. I had a post deleted because it was said to be insulting a member. Here I thought it was giving an opinion. But heck. 126 signatures got Chappel's show cancelled the other day. Because the woke felt unsafe. So I guess I shouldn't be surprised by anything these days.
