    I did it last week all week and have done it quite a bit. The biggest thing i can say is you have to know your shipper and recievers and know how long it takes from point a to point b. Also it takes a toll on the body from alot of up and down on the trailer and in and out of the truck.

    I got tired more running 400 mile loads than OTR, but made more money. Depends on what is available in your area.

    Right now from what I have been seeing most of the short hauls aren't paying all to well, but there is some that are still paying very good. I did two of them last week.

    They are more work, but like you said, you can usually make more money.
