If you can still afford to do that they must be paying you too much....LOL will work for fuel money!
Its not that its affordable.. Its a wash by the time I waste anymore time sitting. Especially when the weekend hits because all chances of another load are gone out the window for the most part.

Well for starters a 700/mile run with elogs will and after dead head will require 2 days. This load was deeper then I wanted to do for these folks because I was fairly sure I would get nothing going back. But I did it anyways. I knew I would be driving back empty, my bad.

How's straight truck freight running right now? Rates still crappy? Wanted to get my truck on the road, wondering if I should wait another month for things to hopefully pick up.

Depends. One carrier is in the tank struggling and the other is doing well. Depends on where you are at.
