    If the I'm deadheading to is good I would. 632 miles empty will cost you about 200 bucks in fuel.

    If it's a load that pays really good like 3.50 or better on 1000 miles which would put you north of 2.00 pm all miles then go for it but better hope the TONU is in the rate confirmation. But if the broker is desperate then squeeze some more money out of them. Instead of $500 make it $1000. It's Friday and the load probably a hot load. Make em pay.

    you thinking about dh out of Louisville for your first load????? if so it would be an agent offering you the load, and regardless, it would depend on the load after the 632 mile dh. if you had 2.00 a mile freight available where youre at , it wouldn't be wise to dh 632 miles to get 2.00 a mile

    Yea it's paying 1.42 loaded not counting the extra 500. My coordinator stayed to like 530 so I didn't have to sit all weekend. Where I'm going it's paying like 1.80 to Texas my permits .didn't get ready to like 515

    I think using a laptop or tablet would be better . I tried to use a phone when I was at landstar but found it to be easier on the laptop for finding loads .

    At 1.42 it'll stay where it's at. Even at 1.80 it's not worth it to deadhead. See if it you could drive the rate up. You could prob hang around until mon and find something better.

    Are you high? Texas is not a good area. And it's a permit load? dude, you would have made more money waiting till Monday than taking that garbage load.
