A partial load REALLY?

I didn't I was trying to put a load

 

#### it same thing happened.
Anyway I was just trying to put a load together and called on it and had another partial that I could have made a good paying load out of both. Just didn't work out. No biggie sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
I pull my own customers freight out and was looking for a load home. The crane appointment wasn't in the info.

 

I agree, even on a step a 35' piece isn't really a partial. Most of the customers & brokers I pull for on a regular basis understand and will tell the customer whats up. I went from a 36500# tare to a 33700# tare. Changed trailers 53' steel to 48' aluminum that helped some when getting out Timbuktu. But putting tracked equipment on a aluminum step sure makes me nervous. It sure flexes a lot.

 

Every load is negotiable. But when your in a bad area and they know it and there is a 8 trucks to 1 load area its take it or leave it.
Hopefully one day things will get better.
I'm lucky I can leave it. I'll bounce.
I had to find a load to go 800 miles to get the load I'm under now. Landstar saved the day there they had a load Going close to where I needed to be.
But I had a couple of weeks notice so that helps too.

 

If I would have the time at that point I sure would like to.
Hopefully soon the tables will turn and we will have more control. Until then I'll keep doing what I'm doing. I'm not getting rich but the wheels are turning and I'm still enjoying what I do so that helps!
