Reduced Rates

Jus finished the long version.

My thought was kinda this. Why do we go into areas we know are hard to get out of out when one knows in advance either your gona DH or discount it?

Personally I have set up my own standards, like for example FL, if its not North of the NC-TN border (KY-VA) I am not going. Not enough miles to justify the risk of DH.

Why should a customer in say Boston with a load going to FL and one to the Chicago Burbs pay the same dollar amount rate? Where do you want to go? So why should we not be compinsated for the DH out of FL?

Intresting while reading this, the phone just rang. Dispatch said (you do not have to say yes, but customer is on the other line) Lexington to Windsor. #1 not enough miles, Monday delivery, and no extra $ means tell the customer thank you but no thanks.

WAH WAH WAH WAH... Just do the load take in the sites of Windsor go to the casino, relax bud.Get ready for Monday cuz you'd be 1ST OUT
Help out your fellow company which I'm sure they've given you decent loads before I'm sure they haven't all been ssssss loads.
Take the good with the bad

Better be careful here, you'll fuffle some fedders and get the rath from the newoldbie.

Broom says to tell you yeah... dumb move on his part. He turned down a 300 miler for an 800. Granted, maybe he shouldn't have posted that. But clearly, you don't have a clue how things work on his end.

Depends if you were out two weeks and live in Deetroit. Ha, ha. Windsor Casino and other clubs like Aardvark make for good night out- & lots of interesting women (assuming you are not married...)
