I realize that we all want things done as cheaply as possible but partial loads and backhauls are a couple phrases that commercial haulers hate......time is money and why should a hauler spend a bunch of their time loading/unloading etc for a discount rate?.
That may be the case in ND but not the rest of the country from truckers I've talked to have said. All the guys I've talked to don't mind back hauls as long as it covers fuel and they're not giving their work away. It doesn't really take that long to load and unload an auger if it's ready to go, even for a discount rate. I'd rather make money going back to where I came from than hauling an empty trailer. And that's not "just me" saying that, every single person I've talked to that trucks or used to trucks, always wants a back haul weather it's grain or goes on a flatbed/step deck.
