<p>[QUOTE="201, post: 12356248, member: 141912"]HA! Well, I'll tell ya', it's not a vacation. You have your terms mixed up. Linehaul is generally the same trip over the same roads night after night with very little variation. Many times linehaul is timed specific, there are drivers waiting for your freight, and the boss knows how long that trip should take. What you describe, could happen on an OTR setting, but many times too, most scenic places have no room for trucks, and generally, an "out of route" detour is looked down upon. Bobtailing, if allowed, is a different story, although, I doubt the boss would like 400 miles bobtailing. Now, if it's YOUR truck, then yes, I would certainly do an outside trip bobtail, but getting off the big road in a T/T is a nightmare waiting to happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
