Backloads make most jobs worthwhile, we always try to get one. Rarely as described, well paid or it is the stuff that noone else wants to do, but its just part of the job nowadays. Choice between messing about with a backload and rushing back to try and get another delivery in, i'll always choose the backload.

your fuels paid for, its extra buntz with a huge margin, even if its done at a 50% rate

on the other side, if PLACING a load as a backload, big profits, like me paying £100 XLWB brum-glasgow and charging my punter £300 = £200 profit without even seeing the load
