Got a nice load in my opinion..good pay, etc..Rocketman and I had a good laugh as we passed each other awile ago..I was going where he was to pick up, and he was going in the direction where I came from to pickup..lol..but we are both happy with our loads and the pay, and that's all that matters..time for a shower..been waxing the van all day..

I love when that happens. You never know what load is going to get called in shortly after booking another one. You would need a super computer to optimize and look at diverting trucks after the fact. But even if that worked I think most would find the changing plans annoying at least.

Well that would be the next issue. Would a both guys want the alternate load. Probably a great idea, that in real life would never work. Kind of like new coke.

I'm cool with it. It worked out for the both of us.

Your quite the funny guy scott...WOW...Lol if running $.90 cpm is dumb during these slow times an I cannot survive on it that's noones fault but my own... But lets see...2 loads a week at 1000 miles for 1.15 is $1150... 3 loads a week at 2000 miles at .90 cpm is $1800 ill take the 1800...lets see that's $33800 more per year...Tell me plz where that's bad??? I'm not saying always...Just while its slow...An read my lips...No need to change what we bill our existing customer base...Only what we bid on the boards and email quotes $.90 cpm to our trucks will get us more freight...That's all I'm sayin...Right now look at things like this is a shippers market...Lots of trucks less freight gotta compete to get freight...Later maybe june or so it'll be a Haulers market lots of freight lots of trucks name your price on hauling it...Right???!!!

In your haste to reply, you missed the point. Which was, if you want to bend yourself over, have a ball! But don't get on here and suggest that we all need to stop being stubborn and haul more freight.
We all? Really?
What was I thinking? Why yes, I want to haul the same freight as I was prior to last nov. But now I will do it with a higher avg d/h. I will haul the same fuel sucking 2k loads or better and for less money. Good call...I feel myself getting richer already.
I sincerely hope to achieve your level of intellectual agility one day, so my van, too, can run on fast food and be repaired with casino chips.
