    Yes, way too cheap.

    Anything thatb takes an entire day to run needs to pay me $1,000 at a minmum. Now if it was going short miles and I could turn 2 of them in 1 day, $550 isn't bad. But from PHX to LAV it is too cheap.

    Way to cheap good job turning that down. Grand would have been better for the over 300 mile run.

    What did it weigh, when did it load and deliver, did it need to be tarped? If it it moved you overnight & you had something better set up waiting for you in Vegas it might be OK. If you're going to waste a day getting there & then spend most of the next day getting a load of sheetrock out, probably not.

    I live in Vegas and the easiest way for me to get home to vegas is get a load out of Phx. or L.A. now $550 is about the best your going to get going to vegas I've been offered loads from Phx. paying 300$ your lucky to get a load from Phx or L.A. going to vegas for $2.00 Most of the loads I see going to vegas pay about $300-500 on like 300 miles

    yep. seems like phoenix doesn't pay to go anywhere.

    going home to vegas though. $500 for a 300 mile trip is better then empty for nothing.

    And that is why there are cheap rates like that, always someone that can't afford the fuel for a small bounce and says well its better than nothing.
