    I have deaded headed 700 miles twice from Stockton,ca to Pasco,Wa. Back in the days before rail took those long loads away. Both those trips ended up being 3000 and 3200 miles when all was said and done.

    Sounds like you are getting good runs. Hows there hometime policy?
    Do they have a line 5 on QC?

    What yr was this? I know about now with the current fuel prices companies would be about ready to have cow dead heading someone further than a couple hundred miles. Glad you had the good sight seeing trip though.

    In the 2 cases I mentioned it was a "we need trucks here now" kinda thing...so shipper paid the deadhead miles.
