    Money in hay is in the oversized rounds. I have loads coming out of the north that pay $4/mile+. Key is to do a little work and go find loads direct. I have a $3400 load out of ND, brokers are offering it at $2200. And I have played with them to see how far they will go but won't budge. And they play games by listing it in different cities. Boy are they going to be surpised when I start offering it up at $3300.
