<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brickman, post: 166119, member: 4136&quot;]Like was mentioned before it varies a lot depending on the type of operations you are in. When I was OTR I thought nothing of dead heading even 200 miles to get a load paying what I wanted going to where I wanted. I wasn&#039;t going to mess with 10 $300 loads when I could deadhead 200 or even more and pickup a load going clear across the country for $5000 or more.</p><p><br /></p><p>For your type of ops you are probably on target to keep the dead head under 100 miles. </p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;And this one time at band camp......................&quot; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (I couldn&#039;t help throwing that in) I dead headed from Vegas to Ft Lewis WA. I had taken a pretty decent load in because Landstar was having a driver appreciation there and gave away tickets to one of the big Nascar races there. Being in the early spring there wasn&#039;t much freight moving in the western states that I wanted any thing to do with. After a day an a half I hit the road for Ft Lewis WA. And was under a paying load headed east where I knew I could get reloaded no problem while some of the other guys I was in Vegas with were still sitting looking for loads 5 days later. You might say its stupid to dead head that far. You could be right, but after a couple of days of sitting there becomes a cost associated with NOT MOVING.</p><p>I wasn&#039;t going to haul .97 a mile 48,000 lbs must be tarped freight.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
