I don’t know, I’ll ask him

you hauling some super special shyt if you getting $10k one way. And the more miles you drive with a single load, the less per mile that load pays.. You're NOT getting a $10k load on a load board when their is thousands of other people on that same board, looking at that same load who'd probably do it for less..

I understand that, once again it’s all about negotiating. I think it’s have to do with driving down them mountains in the snow

Im not saying you can't have a $10k run.. Im saying you'll never find that on a load board.. A $10k run would be carrying them 200 foot windmill blades or 90k lbs steel bridge beams..

Your negotiation power comes when no one else around has the equipment needed to haul a particular load.. Like the stuff I mentioned above..

I think the problem is y’all don’t negotiate. But I’ll ask him

Facts only way that shyt is even near $10k is if you got partial loads and you heading out west :mjlol:

also let’s not forget those $10k loads are exclusive and you would never find them on a load board as it’s a direct driver to shipper request who got the equipment to handle the load..
