    The shoulder to waist to hip ratio is absolutely incredible. I have never seen a real woman with those type numbers. Raquel Welch had ribs removed (so I heard), but she didn’t have Mankiller legs like Anne Margaret.

    Now you're adding things to the equation I specifically ruled out in my first post.

    Lets try again. You are getting empty near the shipper, you need to get to the destination cause you got a hell of a good load lined up for the following day. You can dead head. Or you can make some money.

    This particular shipper in the example posted i have halted a lot for over the years. Maybe 2 dozen loads in the last year. Always going where i was going to go anyway. Would I rather make head haul money in both directions? Obviously. But that's just not the real world. The real world has bad markets with depressed rates. A good back haul load can turn a good week into a great week. You just got to be certain it isn't going to mess up your money load.

    A far as the mentality that keeps rates low. There are 4 million trucks in this country. And while I don't know the exact number of flats, let's say it's 25% so we can have a nice round number of 1 million. My truck isn't going to affect rates 1 iota. As for the satisfaction of leaving cheap freight sit. A, it's not gonna sit. Tmc or Melton will gobble that #### up. And B. I've never felt satisfied about leaving money on the table, especially 600 freaking dollars. That's more than most people make in an entire freaking week and I can make it on what's essentially 2 hours of extra time? Sign me up. And let's be real, it's more like an extra 700 bucks cause it's not like the truck wasn't gonna burn fuel bouncing back empty. Loading that MIGHT cost 75 dollars in extra fuel.

    There is a LOT that I personally feel you are wrong about. But I don’t need to go into them. You do what you want. I’m not wasting my time trying to convince you otherwise.
