That is kind of an open ended question. One, it would depend on your niche, whether you are leased or completely independent etc. I have taken loads for a customer out of FL to Winnipeg MB and bounced back to them for instance. If you sit around waiting on the perfect load, you are losing money. As long a you can make a profit on it, load and go. Weight never did matter to me. If it paid and I could make money on it I pulled it. Also, don’t be so picky as to where you will go, because you are cutting out whole sections of freight that will be offered to you and might be passing on some good paying freight.
