    I live in Los Angeles area and am thinking about going to Schneider choice. What's the freight in Cali and western states like? Texas?

    The rates running around cali aren't that bad...generally great running north to the NW or Utah and cheap headed back...as far Texas, rates are pretty decent running within and to neighboring states and back...

    I've been approved and now I'm just trying to figure out what's best. What bothers me is I can't get a look at the load board to get an idea. Would like to run primarily Cali, Oregon and out to Texas. Thanks for your input.

    Depends...I just spent the last two weeks out and I've been running quite of few loads out here for well over $2mi....yes some cheap loads too but I've done quite well for myself out here....I ran a load that was 600mi stayed in California and paid $2.51mi...not bad..23k load too...just to name a few..I've got a load going to Texas for 1.60mi this week so the rates our here just like anywhere else you just have to look for them...

    Out of la you'll get a decent rate to the nw to slc and Phoenix. Out of those areas the average rate back to la is 88 to 99cpm
    Every now and then you will find a golden nugget
    It's so bad out there i won't run my truck out there and I live out there . I leave my truck in Midwest and fly back and forth.

    Can you run $1.70+ all miles out west? yes or no?
    From what I've seen its a no but not from experience just from looking.

    Thanks for the info guys. In your opinions is it possible to gross 70-80k after fixed costs and fuel?

    News flash..it's ran pretty #### close to that figure. ...you actually need to come out here and experience it...you consistently claim you can't make $$ in Southeast, the plains, and west only northeast. ..that's a big bunch of BS...

    Well I get scared when I when I look at rates out of there lol.. what can I say?
    Loads out of Cali are always very good but what good is say $2 to AZ or OR if you have to come back for $0.90?
    When I look that's what I see soo that's what I'm basing things off of.
    Not saying I'm right or wrong, I only know what I see on the board.
