    It would be interesting to see what it pays. My guess is no more then around $1200

    These type of deals seem to get very competitive and they don’t price in the trailer capacity at all which is pretty stupid IMO. But, maybe for someone based out of Lansing they could make it work just fine.

    Good looking out @Cat sdp

    I did see that broker offering like $50 a day somewhere that wanted trailers dropped if they sat for more than 3 days....

    Well, I decided to run another short 1,000 mile roundtripper. It was hard to leave the house after a few days off. But a modest wave was calling my name.

    Left yesterday in morning. Home tonight. Will finish delivery tomorrow and come home until at least the 28th. Might try and squeeze one more short trip in before the end of the year.

    Maybe I will, maybe I won't ;-)

    He does real well with that trailer. Averages 6500 gross revenue on a bad week and 9500 on a good week.

    He earns it though.
