Deadhead Percentages

[terryhop]

I was reading a few posts about the deadhead runs a lot of you have been having. About what percentage of your miles are deadhead on average?

About 7-8%

Ours is higher at 10 to 15 depending on the truck.

The typical carrier is around 25%. At orientation we were told to expect 30-40% on the high end. If you're getting less than 20%, you're doing good.

Around 15% to 18% unless I get fedup in Texas and go home.
