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...
That’s a really good gig.
Yep, can't beat the four corners states. They're just the best.
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
Sure would have sucked not to get paid on the load itself hahaha or maybe even get taken to small claims court.
It does say it on the Ratecon
Good stuff. I get the super truckers on my vlog telling me I'm doing it all wrong. Lol. You have to do all the math.
Yep… ALL THE MATH
I would have taken a load with it and pumped the diesel from the reefer supply tank to cover my trip
Arizona is the best u are spot on
Yeah Arizona is one of my favorite for sure…
I was in AZ last fall. Didn't want to come back east. Stayed out there for a week, running between northern and southern AZ.
Yes sir...I would take it also...in fact I'm getting my stuff together to do the same exact thing your doing...what load board do you use...keep these videos comming...:)
I use DAT
I have been Power Only for 2 years. I would have taken it to get out of that location or to get back home.
Yeah I agree 💯
Watch out for rattle snakes there. Especially wearing flip flops.
I’d take that and telwice on Sunday fuel maybe 1 1/2 times and it get you where u need to be.😊
Hahaha yep
Better be careful crawling around those rocks. Time for snakes to come out!!
Ah you just reminded of a couple of running I’ve had in the past in desert involving snakes.
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???
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.
Bhai wat is ice road trukin? Can we talk about ice road truckin on the nxt vid??
I wish I had done that before but unfortunately that’s not my area. I wouldn’t know where to begin when it comes to ice road trucking hehehe
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.
What fuel card you use?
I use the majority of the time MudFlap
Can foreigner become owner operator???? Is green card enough or you need to be US citizen to be an owner?????
You just to be in the US Legally as far I know. So you need a SSN so you can get EIN then business then sign up with FMCSA.
No u California ppl came 2 Texas
None
Alot of people from California moved there. They escaped from their voting habits
Yeah seems that way
The Cali drivers have moved to Texas😂
They got worst in Texas tho hahaha. I don’t see them drive that way in Cali hehehe
