    Sure it may be a disadvantage for drivers that don't, but that has nothing to do with my business model. Its a dog eat dog industry, just the way it is. especially doing this... 2500 IC's competing for the same freight.. Its not against the rules and plenty of IC's are doing it...why? Because it works. Period.

    I've done it before and I was beat.. I didn't like how I felt and I don't like having loads stacked up since there are "cancellations" give me a 400 mile run at 1.35-1.40 and I can make it work

    That area i put with the Texas black hole region.
    I always to TX-LA LA-TX loads.
    My one time in that area i went to jackson, Mississippi and see loads there sometimes also.
    If you live and wanna stay in that region it's okay.
     
    BigNate Thanks this.

    Theres a bunch of Texas area runners on here that have threads going. You'd be better off hitting them up for into as they have experience there.
    Then again they might not want you stealing their loads lol
