    The problem is those short drop and hooks just don't pay. with rare exception, that market has been driven down very low by large companies.

    All I know is I signed on to Interstate knowing that it was slim pickings. I figured if I could start there and make that board work for me, then any other board I tried afterwards would be easy.

    There's some truth here. It will definitely make any transition easier. Are you going to stay around & run for peanuts since heartland changed things or are you looking to move on as well?

    On occasion, yeah. I've ran several under 10 mile loads for similar. Ran 3 miles for 500 on a load I was called on while deadheading to my next pickup. It was less than a mile out of route so basically free money to me. It happens. Maybe not every load, but there is plenty of them.

    Nope. Still whittling down the choices. Will probably apply to several places before the final cut.

    Do they pay for a flatbed wash? This is news to me.
