    You could hit that number, might have to do 2-3 loads a day sometimes to pull it off.

    I've done it a few times..
    Going inside of 294 sucks and try to avoid that.
    Pulling off 3 of those short loads in one day there is a big money day. Not always easy to get the appointments lined up though.

    It's mostly D/H on one end and live load/unload on the other.
    Usually a smaller place doing LIVE to a DC for drop/hook (or other way around) is what I've noticed.
    There are some drop/hooks on both ends but there arent many of those loads around there.

    That's why I was trying to get on with Intermodel again. Almost all D/H and they used to pay a decent rate. (I could run the #### out of IA and make some decent money. Adding in the millage & load, it averages to be about 1.75 mile)

    $1.75 for all drop and hooks sounds good if the miles are there.
    I wouldnt want to be doing 50 mile loads in and around Chicago for no $1.75 tho

    That's to IA and back. Generally about 220-250 miles each way.
