Making The Best Of It
This morning I found myself in Frederick Maryland without a load to pickup. I ended up dead heading over four hundred miles to Lima Ohio to pickup a shipment going to the Detroit Michigan area. I could have taken a load towards my home in Statesville North Carolina. At first glance this would appeared to have been the right move. By going the way that did not make sense I ended up making thirty cents a mile more even with all the empty miles involved. I also got a load going home from Detroit, so I will still be home for Thanksgiving. These are the kind of maneuvers I have been pulling off to survive the tight freight market.
