Ok, so this one may be a CRE DH record. You CRE veterans may know better if you have higher paid DHs.
229 paid DH miles. And at a ridiculous high % of total miles. Something like 66% of total miles.
And pick and drop are both Metro areas. NOT like it was between Pecos and Odessa or anything like that.
Literally hundreds of other trucks closer. Hundreds!
Or maybe we just got lucky.

Again.

***Ok, what's the highest paid DH you remember? I see on my notes from the last week or two we have 184, 104, 98, 187, 90, 116, & tonight's 229 for some of the higher ones lately.
Of course LONG deadheads are dangerous. It's hard to get enough dry run money with a DH that long. But, as you guys know, we ALWAYS try hard to get a fair rate on them.

But once my "note sheets" are gone, messages are the only DH record we have. Too arduous looking back through those.

Have a great evening, team!!

Oh ya. I remember that being a big one. Were you in Minny or at home for that DH? 325 from home or 243 from Minny. Can't remember. I think I found the load in a spreadsheet on my phone. Just went to Kentwood/GR area?

A few months ago with other carrier I had a 400 mile unpaid DH, but load paid very well and I was in Washington state at the time.

Deadheads are like Rainbows, if you don't follow them you will never know if the pot of gold is there!
