You didn't say how far you hauled the load, but if $800 was too cheap, you shouldn't have hauled it. I've heard the same incredibly ridiculous excuse way too many times; "If I don't haul it someone else will".

Several years ago, I would deliver in Albuquerque every 2 or 3 weeks. Everyone was whining about the $.80/mile drywall going to the midwest, but they hauled it anyway. I would deadhead 425 miles to Acme TX and haul drywall to the same area for $1.30/mile. I made the same gross money, burned a lot less fuel in the process, and wasn't whining about getting cheated. I have deadheaded 500-1000 miles on several occasions because I would not haul cheap.

If all the wannabe O/Os would let the cheap freight sit, it wouldn't be cheap anymore.
