    sure, if it fits in the box, we take it. Heck, I had a load of scrap aluminum last month. I don't care what I put in there, it all pays the bills either way.

    All the time. Like Sabine in MO said - if it fits we haul it. Hazmat too. Gives us a wider variety of freight to pull.

    When I drove for Covenant back in 00-01 it seemed as if it was 50-50. For example, I took a load of electronics from TX to Cali, Picked up a load of produce and took it to ATL, GA. Back and forth...

    I prefer the lettuce that I buy at the grocery store to come from a carrier that hauled a chemical Haz-mat load prior to hauling the lettuce load without getting a washout. It makes the lettuce tasty.
