Isn't it dumb. The heavy freight is the cheapest freight.
Hauled a load of industrial pump fittings today @40k for $500- 30 miles.
A load of 48k lumber going 150 miles pays $325.
Your empty weight?

Sounds like you'd be better off finding a better place to get freight from.OLDSKOOLERnWV, cke, johndeere4020 and 2 others Thank this. -
I did not plan on hauling just lumber.
I have one broker who told me how awesome his loads were and how he could always keep me loaded. He put me on his e-mail list and gave me a few good loads then started pushing out his regular lumber loads.
I'm trying out a dispatch service right now. So far, it's ok. Lighter loads and better pay.
We'll see how it goes.cke Thanks this. -
