LTL Load?

So you drive across town for $800, how is that a bad deal?

 

Thats not LTL but you already know that. Size and weight makes it LTL or not to me. Say 15ft at 19k. Still have room for weight and size so so something like that to me is LTL.

 

If it's 45,000 lb, I don't see how it can be classified LTL?? It's not like you have 50 other boxes weighing 1 oz each with it.

Dollar amount means nothing without some kind of mileage reference.

 

I don't use the phrase LTL I call it less than money.
I don't fool with less than 2.00 a mile freight, like none in the past six months. I did have one at 1.993 a mile but on short miles it was over 2.00

 

LTL is a love hate relationship. One week you do 5 picks and 5 drops and make $5.00 per mile, the next week you got 1.50 on and can't get anything to go with it. The way I do LTL is I find the light small load paying full rate and then add other freight, that way I'm not hauling for a 1.50 worst case, and there have been worst cases. I just went to Seattle out of FL with 4000 lbs and it only took up 10 feet on the bottom deck. It paid $2 to the truck and was just dreaming of the gravy I was gonna put on, but nothing else would work with my time frame.

 

You should hear about the 40 foot ltl's. The problem I had with them before the minute you get loaded broker starts bothering about when you going to deliver??
