A few years ago I pulled a power only out of Anchorage to Daytona beach Florida.
My plan was to bounce back to georgia and pick up a flat I had left there a year or so before, and pick up some stuff I had bought at the same time in Alabama, head to New Mexico and load my shop equipment and come back to Alaska.
I stopped at St Augustine Ta and there was multiple loads on the load board, so I called landstar, on them.
they were building a new pipeline in Florida and had to have board mats to cover the whole 400 miles.
I wound up hauling 2 loads a day for a month and a half, and had two or more months to go, running 6 dys a week. It was a pretty good paying gig, but my air had quit, my wife was with me and it was HOT. We did it anyway and would get a motel saturday nights. An old boss called from Alaska and wanted me to come drive for him on a gravel gig, which would pay me 700 bucks a day 6 days a week, but I turned him down.
The landstar agent was giving me 15 load confirmations at a time, and I had just got a fresh batch anyway, so had to haul them.
I sweated the rest of the day and called him back, told him I had to haul them loads, and go load my stuff, but have my truck ready in 2 weeks and I will be there. lol
I was raised and I guess enjoyed that heat and humidity, but that was before I learned that you didn't have to put up with it. lol
