You are correct, sir. That's when you only go where YOU know for a certainty that you can get freight every day of the week. You're better off pulling cheap freight than you are pulling to a dead zone for less than a round trip rate. The travel agent is just trying to sell you on a load. He doesn't care whether or not you make a dime. He may tell you about some freight in a dead zone. "Oh there are loads there, pulled one last week."

Pulled "O-N-E"

Are you going to bet the bank account that there will be a load coming out that will pay for you to haul it? And for some reason, it always goes to an even worse location. For cheap. You hear some schmuck take a load out to California for $2.25/mile and then take a load paying $.88/mile going to western Colorado. Just shot the following week to hell.

And you are very correct. Being my own travel agent I've had to take the time to study the load board to learn what is a dead area & where are the good areas. I will take a load to a bad area but only if there's enough money on it to bounce out.
