Like this load I'm gonna leave with this evening headed to Minneapolis has to be between 110 and 180 and guy said it's 130 in his tank. I unload Wednesday afternoon now if I push super hard, need make it their by 3pm Wednesday. I might not need run hit, but I did hook lines up and charged trailer up already so I'm good to go either way

I would run it in that scenario unless there is a problem with it. Most of those temp sensitive loads come off easier the higher the temp. There can be a huge unloading time difference between 110 and 130 with some products.

It takes less time to hook up and run the HIT than it does to explain to some totally pissed off customer why you didn't.
Not to mention explaining it to your boss, which you'll also be doing.

I got it loaded at 119 and kept it at 115 at time unload.. took 1 hour vs 2.5 he said most drivers take..so keeping her hot as heck was for the best

My first intransit heat load is it really just as simple as hooking up the lines or is there more to it? And normally I say I'll hook it up at the truck stop and never hook it up but this place isn't going for it

When we are going to run a intransit heat load the terminal will make sure the trailer coolant matches the trucks. Then flush trailer to make sure it is full. So then we hook up with minimum coolant loss. It can be a pain runnung intransit heat but worth the extra $$ we get for it.

I do one from Arkansas to Cali. Pays me $85 for instansit heat. Have to be real careful not to overheat it as the temp will come up fast and they will refuse it if to hot. Or cold.

Just hook it up and open valves if needed so it flows into trailer an back to tractor, both lines should be hot. Let's you know it's going both ways. Hopefully trailer has coolant in it or you have my luck and need to add 5 gallons or the trailer is leaking it and now u need a different trailer. I always hook up first and do a test run to be sure their is no problems then turn off till I get loaded. But that's the luck I have, lessons learned

Still not enough money, in my humble opinion.
