    The next question after yours is.... why would you go there if that is what freight is paying?

    Without knowing the whole situation, I'd say it's because someone is jacking you around hard. Over the last 30 odd years, inbound has always been the money lane with dry/flat freight. Of course if you're pulling a reefer you'll do better outbound in high season.

    At least grab a reefer and you can take advantage of produce season.
