    Same as the LTL business. Certain terminals cover certain zip codes and some of those zip codes butt up against those in another terminal’s area.

    You could have a Baltimore driver and a Philadelphia driver picking up freight from places right across the street from each other with the consignees being the other’s pickup location, but each driver still has to return the shipments to their home terminals to put it on a linehaul truck. So, theoretically you could have freight traveling 400 miles to get to an ultimate destination 400 feet away.

    Vortex Diamondback 12x52 — $280– would be a good choice if you’re not gonna punish them— you can spend however much you want to, but Vortex is a pretty solid choice

    When I first got into the freight business, it was unloading trailers in Lake Park GA. This was before deregulation. So, the Florida boys would load their intrastate stuff in our wagons and send it to Lake Park, (because we didn't have intrastate authority)
    we would load it back, and all the sudden it became intrastate freight.
    Lake Park is about a mile north of the Florida border.
