    Ive noticed alot of brokers are posting 10-11 wide loads weighing 30,000 lbs as a partial , alot of loads that seem like a full load. Is that the norm for steps?

    If they can get away with it they will try. Tell them the rate you want. They are probably just trying to make a big profit.

    Speaking or routes in Colorado. We have to make a pickup in Craig, CO. Likely we will be coming down Rte 13 from I-80 in Wyoming. After loading we would probably go East on 40 through Steamboat, then go North toward Laramie, WY and catch 80 again. Anyone with experience in the area have any comments or suggestions?

    there's a lot of joke partials, no doubt. I like hauling baby oversize especially 10' or less, but I haven't found anything worth getting out my flags and banners in a few months now.

    the other interesting phenomenon to me is oversize loads posted to pick up that afternoon and deliver the next morning.

    This time of the year your best bet is to run back up to 80 on 13 and 789
