I cant speak for right now but back around september sometime in 2009 I was out west for almost 2 months. Worst mistake ever. I was brand new to the business and broke. Freight moved very slowly . Everywhere I would go would be a short run and very lengthy dead head back to a board. Would I go back ? Maybe if I had a good cash flow just in case I got stuck out there with no loads I could dead head out.
But on a good note I loved running out there. No traffic unless you got to major cities. Great scenery.
