    The Carolinas are hit and miss. But yes theres good! freight out of there, you have to get to know the agents most of the freight never hits the boards

    I did a quick search of the load board for flatbed freight in and around Chicago for the next two days. I set the rate at 2.25 and the weight at 25k or less. There are 12 loads ranging from 2.34-4.90 and the weights were 1k to 25k. Im not a platform guy but Chicago seems to be a profitable area.

    Depends on the time of month, Baltimore I a strange pool there. Flats do real well around Baltimore and Richmond , Norfolk. As far as which works best and makes the most money, flats are steady, steps run good rates a bit better RGN hit and miss if you can catch it at the right time you can get a good rate
