    To make matters worse, I'm willing to bet that it's wet palletized cow hides.

    Not sure who he is. But, if it was on USHIP, they reward the low bidder.

    Think about the value in that load Aiwron! For 725 bucks you can come up here and test your truck in the toughest winter conditions. You can see if you've been good at selecting fuel, test your batteries, coolant, etc. and get paid to do it! You have to look at the value added side of the equation, not just the rate!

    Its only 8 degrees below zero now but if you load it and hurry you can catch the 22 below forecast for tonight!

    Just kidding,

    Jay

    The rate is so high in order to attract a CARB compliant truck. At least that's what I keep hearing...
