    I’ve deleted the screenshots, but somewhere in the truckload slide thread about this time last year I posted loads going for .70-90cpm.

    Did you haul them? Or are we talking about trash that megas put up because they can't cover it? I mean was that "cheap freight", or was that pretty average? And how the hell did you all survive that? Jesus.

    Depends exactly which state you run the most/ each state gives a bigger discount to in state ezpass vs other state ezpass.




    I mean..... the catch is $5 a mile isn’t really the mind blowing number it could be unless you’re pushing long miles on it.
    Lyndhurst to madbury nh for instance, @$1500 is decent if you reload back south for $800-1000. But with load and unload cutoff times and delays at shippers, you are almost better off getting stuff thats half the distance for about the same money n being able to turn the other half of it back south same day, then reload the northbound that afternoon.


    Also, 17 north to 287 east adds some miles, but more than pays for itself in toll savings.

    Good job driver. I never got the “flatbedders never back up” thing. I’ve unloaded in some of the most Goofy spots.

    Tuesday I delivered a load of used aircraft tooling to a storage facility with a covered double drop. 422739A2-2BA4-4A99-82B2-85A703E9A4AE.jpeg
    A very old facility with scrap tooling everywhere (red x’s). I took the path of the black line, putting my trailer tires south of the mud puddle and my drives north of the puddle. Just washed my truck and didn’t want to get my tires muddy! Luckily the ground was still hard, it had just started raining.

    Hopefully you’re stacking cash for when the rates drop.
    This is one of the screenshots from last year.

    I had the PrePass Elite which does weigh stations and every toll in the US. I had to put a $200 deposit up with PrePass for the tolls and then they would debit my account for the bill.
