    im trying to get a feel for prices per mile paid as i have been pulling containers all my life i always been paid a flat rate per area.

    i just finished a weeks worth of work dry van within FL at $1.35 pm my truck wastes to much diesel to make any profit from this rate, to my understanding flatbeds and REEFER pay more per mile. Is that true? If so whats the reason being that they do pay more?


    Im trying to find work down here in miami with trailers but its seems to be a hit or miss situation. Is anyone familiar with any Co.'s needing Owner operators to work within the state? i dont have to base out of miami maybe a little bit more north from me like central fl.

    Every Tom, Dick and Harry want to only run FL so you'll be hard pressed to stay in state and make anything. You can pull sod, mulch, etc or a dump wagon and make more than van but not much. The key to find something good is networking. Maybe hauling a sugar cane? South FL is all about containers though. I DH out of there almost every time up to Orlando. I've found my niche and have a couple customers that like me and pay well. However it has taken years to do it and I still go out of state often.

    florida is still just as bad as 4-5 years ago... scott has only created 7$ an hour service jobs...

    u want bad pay? try hauling aggregate in an end dump in south florida...

    you used to be able to clear 2-3k a week gross, now u can barely make rent.
