    I'm with ya on that. I rarely ever have more than one active load and one preassignment on me.

    I did that when I first started..but it always seemed I was picking up leftovers.

    I plan out Monday through Friday..if something cancels I'll try and get something in the area to cover it.
    If that isn't possible I take off everything after the one that cancelled and chase what's available.
    Seems easier to preplan out 3-5 days..turn and burn I guess.

    Both styles have there advantages..I guess it's just how you like to roll.

    Depends on what areas and loads you run too. I know you guys running the northeast seem to have a much easier time planning out a full week. The loads I like to run oftentimes don't show up until the day or night before they are ready to ship out, so I gotta play the waiting game and hope I'm fast on the assign button lol.

    Thats the same reason i went from one or 2 loads to the entire week i felt like i was getting junk although that junk paid okay i felt like i was missing out. Im gonna try this method for a bit. The only thing stressful about it is i'm running recaps and i have to be on point at all times and keep hours in check especially since the box team sent me out of route 2 hours last night.

    I'm running 9 total loads this week with a on paper 1.90 per mile pay rate. Looking at 4100 to the truck assuming none of the loads change. One is pallets and one is coming out of home depot i just ran a similar load from them so hopefully the second one is a continuation of the first.
    The learning curve was kind of steep for me but i can say im finally getting comfortable with this

    If you're going to try and run double loads per day..plan ahead and let your reset catch up to you.
    Running on recap will catch you with your pants down.
