I got offered a job 75% of load using there trailers 81% with your trailer, guy was nice enough to send drivers earnings with rates and lanes a boat load of mtns driving, I'm doing that now, there's alot of 7-8 hundred mile days, he's gonna charge 400 a month for trailer rent, my plates and insurance. Don't know if I got the big mile days in me maybe 10yrs. ago. All miles came out to be 1.55 loaded and m/t.

700 to 800 a day with flatbed? Hope there's not a Qualcomm on board. You'll be hard pressed to run that unless you're pre strapped or pre tarped. Those are dry van miles
Lepton1 and colorado18spd Thank this. -
So going to pay 6% less and charge 400 a month to rent a trailer?
Seems steep to me.
For general Flatbed around Colorado 1.55 all miles seems par right now.
I am at 1.72 all miles after insurances and plates but in Indiana.
Most guys I talk to in general Flatbed seem to be ballparking around 1.65-1.90 at this time some a bit higher.
Just my take on things right now I am sure others are killing it.colorado18spd Thanks this. -
Thank you sir, it's his authority, I'm doing between 450-625 running around in state daily. I ran some numbers, thought about buying a used trailer. Might make 7-9k more a quarter, with 81%

Used trailer would be worth it as a whole. I'm running my own truck and o/o trailer now pulling right at 1.90. Not going to be a millionaire but I'm happy.
tsavory Thanks this. -
I get its his Authority which is where the 19% comes in I can see the extra 6% for his trailer or a rental fee just not both.
Or did I miss read that and the 400 cover the plates and insurance? If so not a bad deal as my plates and insurances run just shy of 200 a week. -
Oh I know I stayed at parents for 5 days while dsp tried to get a good rate out of CO and best they came up with was 1.58/m so for doing in CO 1.55 all miles not bad for the lane.
And yeah get you a trailer will save/make you a few hundred a week.MJ1657 Thanks this. -
