    I just took a $1.85 load... I do all the time... it's the first leg on a triangle I run over and over. 1050 miles at $1.85 because on the same drop yard I drop and hook a 1250 mile load that pays $2.79, and that takes me to a drop and hook in the same city 740 miles that pays $2.13 and goes to the start of the triangle to do it all over again. I don't look at the one load and say, I can't take it because it's less than $2.00 a mile... that first cheap load sets up two better paying loads. I average it all together...

    I’ll take it empty.. then look in the load board for a load going the same way and use the trailer 😂

      Hahaha trust me I was so tempted haha. Could have easily made an additional $2500. I did think about and said the big wording that says Walgreens on the side might have people talking hahaha. 😂

      @@pinoytruckingmaybe a partial would of been nice. Since a shorter trailer, but It might of cost u in the end if they find out..

      ​@@pinoytrucking i betcha they specifically worded it on the BOL "no freight" as its NOT a load-out Trailer

    • @pinoytrucking
      @pinoytrucking  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sure would have sucked not to get paid on the load itself hahaha or maybe even get taken to small claims court.

    Let me ask you this I’m getting back into OTR getting my truck now and own authority how was it getting loads from brokers off the load board? I heard they can be shady and not want to give you loads because of being a new authority???

    • @pinoytrucking
      @pinoytrucking  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They can be very shady overall but I do feel like PO loads and loadouts are the worst when it comes to ease and smooth transactions. My rule of thumb is call all leads. Then can only say no to new authority. Then move on to the next. I do feel like it is harder this time around tho.

    You know…some people will look at that bowl of cereal and says it’s half empty. Other people will say half full. I take it you’re a half full type of guy.
