Well, at running the risk of starting up old arguments, first and foremost be available. 70% is not that hard if you're trying to make money anyway. Second, go where the freight is. If you know you are sitting in a dead zone then move,go where the freight is, don't wait for the freight to come to you. The longer you sit there waiting for that great load the more that load has to pay. Third, look at the big picture: it might not be a great load but where is it going to put me. Yes, it does mean you will run some junk but under most junk is treasure. Been working for me for the last four years now...
