    Could had been the same area. Diffrent customer. Like one could had been spot market and the other contract freight.

    Some dont know better. Some do but have certain circumstances they meet or plan for so its less a consideration. Others its a primary factor.

    Choice is so individualized its really hard to say what is or isnt right. Simple question is , is a contractor meeting or exceeding their goals? If the answer is yes, who is anyone to argue with that?

    Just making a point that deadheading can be worth it for the right load.

    Well until it cancels.
