As a company driver sometimes I ask my dispatcher for a certain run and if he is in a good mood he usually gives it to me within a couple of days. As an o/o can I visit any city that I want? I have an MyDAT app on my phone that I never use but have it just in case, and it shows loads from my current location to pretty much any city that I want to go to. So if I want to deliver a load from my current location to Las Vegas there is something available? I won't always take the highest paid load if it can take me to a place that I want to go to.
So can you actually go to a city that you really want to when you want?

you have to see if your allowed to do it with your company, if your leased on with a company it might be a no no to go get broker loads. Some companies MIGHT allow it, if your own authority and your not leased with a company thats another story.

I do not plan on leasing so I will get my own authority. My company doesn't go to any really nice cities that I always wanted to see like Miami.
-
just be prepared to plan ahead when going to Florida, a lot of drivers dh out of Florida but charge the customers for this. Just not a ton of freight leaving that area.
Going to some of those cities isnt really exciting especially in a truck, I prefer these days to not go to a major city anywhere.tangerineGT and flyingmusician Thank this. -

After that you get a load there and it's more like 'ugh ####### Miami again' lol -

This is gonna sound real strange , but I like going to the Dallas Ft Worth area . I go down there twice a month , -
Not strange... hell I like Oakland for some stupid reason.
To each his own.tangerineGT Thanks this. -
