    Probably gone already. Those loads are usually 45k+. These were around 22k.

    Unfortunately I don't have that option. Most of the P&G loads are too heavy for me. Picked one awhile back said 38k it was 46k so I put it back.They wouldn't take 4k off.

    The P&G loads out of Edwardsville to Denver were reliably 1200lbs LIGHTER than they always said on the paperwork. Those were my loads to get home and to justified what we get leaving Denver. All gone now. In fact, they "mistakenly" put one on the board day before yesterday and I assigned it... guess what they did before I arrived? Pulled it from me. AFTER my 250mi dead head to go grab it, of course, but refused to give me VNU because they pulled it before I was technically at P&G. It was the last one I ever saw, and after two weeks of seeing none. That ship has sailed. It has really screwed us Denver drivers. Meanwhile, the Home Depot freight I wasn't allowed to pull anymore because it was all "Dedicated" and us ICs were kicked off of Dedicated... yeah, that's exactly what I'm hooked up to now in order to get home. Urgh. They are straight up playing games at this point.

    I found the good paying loads out of Denver. Aurora actually. Only reason I found it is because they booked an extra load at the last minute.

    Whole Food. Scrap cardboard to Valliant. We have 4 trailers dropped there. Load pays about $1.70/mile.

    Again, won't see it unless it's a last minute add on, or the company driver's are not able to get it.

    That load is 1.10 a mile, usually. I pull it all the time to get out of the house. For some reason, a handful of them posted for way more than that. Some were 1.70, some 1.42. They post 2 of them a week. Why the price was that much more week before last...who knows, but that was an abbereation.

    I've live loaded cheap scrap cardboard from the Denver area before, but this was the first time I had ever seen this load coming from the Whole Foods warehouse. Thought maybe I stumbled onto something good. Made for a good week though!

    Yeah, I was thrilled to grab the one I nabbed out of that little place for that price. If it happened every week, losing our P&G inbounds almost wouldn't matter.
