A Shelton driver was at the port today waiting to load pipe. He said with over 10 yrs experience they would pay top pay of .40 loaded and .20 empty.
I asked what the typical deadhead percent is. Guessing, don't keep track of it, he says 25%.
So, about .37 per mile on a lot of short haul and you are better off staying home and doing that night janitor job!
No I didn't say that! But I could find better use of my time than babysitting their truck for $100 a day.

The only money I ever heard to be made over there was copper out of the port up to GA, but I don't know how easy it is to get your foot in on that door.
