[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 3799836, member: 2469"] Here’s the deal when your an owner-operator, you have to think at least three moves ahead. You don’t drive some place and look for a load when you get there. You get there knowing that a load is waiting for you to pick it up, and what your next load will be when you get to where that load is going. Dad didn’t spend his time sitting in truck stops for days and didn’t go places that didn’t have loads going out. Sometimes that means a short haul that gets you to a better place. Driverswould get frustrated when Dad was making more money than them, while they sat around waiting to a trip to get them home or a long haul that paid better. One time they asked the dispatcher why Dad was getting all the loads and they weren’t. The dispatcher politely told them that Dad was pulling all the loads they were turning down. [/QUOTE]
