    You are missing a second partial load, that would increase your income.

    Crushed cars, logs, and crosswise concrete pipe are about the only thing I see cables used on.

    @kylefitzy thanked your post, so guys please explain the back haul term... ??? So now to justify the cheap rate you gotta find a second piece to fit and make it worth while???

    @Ruthless when you haul in and out of the city do you justify your rate based on finding a second load to go with it to make sense????

    Short haul, everything is round trip rate






    Should be that everything is round trip no matter the distance: but someone is always willing to work harder for less, and apparently brag about it like its an accomplishment not an embarrassment
    Can’t make this #### up
