No true, first of all 8 miles does not burn $30 in fuel, sorry. 2nd how can you call it round trip miles if it is on the way? its not like he had to back track to pick it up, so wrong again. 3rd, it is produce, they make changes all the time, so drivers have to be willing to be flexible or they will be rubbed out. 4th even Redforeman said he would ask for $100 hoping for $50, so i not fishing for suppoerters, just looking for input. 5th is didnt pay him $50, I paid him $75. So i guess my frame of reference seems fine. Especially since he was picking up one pallet.
BTW he was in there and out in less than 45 minutes. So i guess that can be point 5.
Please Explain This To Me

It was 8 miles. How is that a trick? If I got paid $75 for every 8 miles I would get paid $937 every day for driving too and from work. I'd take that all day. I guess I'm not catching on to why adding a pick 8 miles away, before he even began to turn tires towards the load, is so horrific on the part of a broker. -
I actually think the oldest trick in the book is the call back, "Oh I broke down" or "Sorry I am out of hours, cant make delivery" or "I need $500 for layover"
Not, Hey I need you to go pick up 1 pallet 8 miles away, it wil pay you and additional $75 and is going to take 45 minutes. On a load paying you $1250 on 119 miles.
I guess I am the one tryig to trick people. -
