    All I did this week was bid /click or book it now

    Absolutely, no human interaction.

    Morris, IL - Berwick, Pa - 688 miles - $1800.00
    Berwick, Pa - Avon, NY - 208 miles - $0.00
    Avon, NY - Ames, IA - 928 miles - $1570.00 (got home en route Wednesday afternoon and left on Thursday after breakfast)
    Ames, IA - Louisville, KY - 621 miles - $1350.00 (to be delivered on Monday, en route home over the weekend )
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    2455 miles - $4720.00
    Fuel : $710
    Tolls: $315

    However you want to slice it now....
    Trip gross net: $3695.00 - goal is to be at the minimum of $2500 per working week or 5 - 7 working days.
    Projected net, based on the historical cpm (without driver pay) = $2300
    with a virtual driver pay at .55 cpm ($1350) ---------- $950 (corporate net).

    I'll try to use that "chicks are digging me" next week and see if it does any magic.

    How much do you need to gross per week? Those short runs look good but do they amount to what you need or are you able to run at least 4 of them?
