One of the most common questions Owner Operators ask themselves is whether they should take a lower paying load now, or sit and wait for a better paying load. We try to answer that question during this episode.
What To Expect From Episode 36Math class is in session. Here is a story problem we are going to use to answer the question whether we should take a load or sit.

Your variable costs are $1.33 per mile.
