DH'ing to rock springs for a load to phoenix.

had a partial load that woulda paid for more then the fuel to rock springs. but that sucker went quick.

 

Are you an owner-op?

 

my business card issued by the company says o/o.

but i'm not digging the extra work involved.

 

i don't know how you guys do it.

you make it look so EEEE ZZZZZ.

i wish i was a pro.

 

Talk about a partial load!!!! I just did a 730 miles run, that consisted of 2 whole pallets. 1100 lbs. Wonder why it wasn't contracted to a straight truck?

 

I always wonder if I should use the empty lane at the scales when I am that light. I have never done it since I figure that would be the time they pull me out and I get busted. I run like that from WA to OR a lot to pick up more product on the way to CA and it is cool to see 10.0mpg for that run.

 

I guess if it was easy everybody would be doing it. Sounds like you are dealing with the typical growing pains. Hopefully you can find your lanes and niche for your truck and it should get easier. At least you took the next step and are doing it.

 

Finding profitable lanes isn't easy, I find if I go into a dead area I ask for a bigger rate to dh OUT. Not going to take some idiots cheap rate to get out!

 

that's turning out to be about 2/3 of this country.

picked up my load. and since the easiest route was through salt lake. i'm home till sunday afternoon. then head out for phoenix.

dang good load going to auburn hills mi. wonder how cheap i can find some loading ramps.

 

i'm outta smokes.

hopefully the washing machine is fast so i can shower and walk to truck and leave for phoenix. got a brand new carton waiting for me to puff away.
