    I agree i dont see why he couldn't either ... but from a drivers stsnd point..... i rather run 1800 miles in a weekend and make more money then run 180 miles and sit all weekend. That's all im saying lol

    Yeah there are plenty of partials in Dallas right now. I can easily find them, but it's friday and I doubt he'll have time to pick up 2 or more unless they're very close together. This one also fit very well with my other narrow partial that I had.

    And I totally agree with you. 100%

    But since he was doing the partial load for 1900, it's gonna be hard to squeeze 2100+ out of them for 1 day and not doing the load.

    I agree that in business, one has to pay for mistakes. But overcharging the hell out of them, will guarantee he never gets the opportunity to work for them again.

    Just my .02
