48k is overweight. 43600lbs is overweight for a hc 40. I don't move anything that's under 1.6 a mile. I averaged 2.3 a mile last year and I don't haul much heavy stuff at all. Weight don't pay where I'm at.
Lots of places around here pay 1.4 a mile and that is sad. I don't get how people make money with that.
