I got snowed in Rochester, NY for 3 days in a major blizzard. When they finally got the roads cleared enough my company DHed me back to Belvidere, IL to cover a load. They even let me run the toll roads.
I was cussing running in the snow empty until I seen a bobtail coming out too. I didn't feel so bad then.
I think it was around 670 miles.
Whats the most you have ever Dead-headed for a load?

I had to laugh a little, because I have been there too. Miami has lots of freight to be delivered to there, but nothing for hundreds of miles to get reloaded with. Not unless you want to haul it for free.
