    Most owner ops couldn’t take this load unless they run a light weight set up.. a mega probably scooped it up

    Hell I dead headed back home to MD from NH this morning cause I could be home to get another good load by the time I would have waited around to load a cheap one to just waste time.

    Ya know what I find really funny about all this is this - apparently none of you guys know what 'OFFER' means. I bet this sat there cause most guys cant comprehend what OFFER means, so some O/O called em up n moved it for 2000. I know Ive called on lowball loads like this and gotten at least double quite a few times in the past. If I can do 1.50+ on a back haul from my 4.30 head haul, then hell yea...screw everybody else n what they think. Ill call on the cheap loads all day n squeeze em to where it needs to be

    You aint squeezing no one when its 60 trucks per load.

    Im doing an 800 mile deadhead to get to my next load right now. And unfortunately right back to service the same customer in a deadzone.

    Right now fuel is cheap and time is expensive.
