    I was wondering what others have dead-headed to get home or to get to a hot load? I have heard some guys say they wont go more than 50 and I have heard some guys drive 400+ miles for a load that would get them where they needed to be.

    Wow mentioning FedEx makes me think of the craziness that had me do - I had two of them an 1100 dh with a 5 mile load and a 700 mile dh with a 300 foot delivery.

    I will bounce any day rather than sit for a day. If I am sitting I am at home !
