    Things I try to avoid hauling.
    1 containers
    2 any large box or crate say 8x8 or 8x6
    3 insulation

    The reason is hauling any of these is like running with your brakes on
    kills mileage. I once hauled a unit 10x8 grenup il to salt lake city milage was like 3-4 alot of the way. At a dollar a mile for fuel you can't make money.
    I do haul these items if it pays REALLY WELL or for short distances.

    Hauling big stuff that catches the wind sucks....The money needs to be right when you get some bigger loads..

    These pools only weigh @3500 pounds but they catch wind like a parachute and the fuel mileage shows it too !!!
