What rates per mile are y’all seeing for OTR lately?

for $4 a mile?

 

Hence my sarcasm in the first post.

 

$165.00 per mile just booked.

Beat that, chumps

 

I

may have jumped the gun.. At pickup now getting loaded.

Minimum guaranteed rate is $165.00.. with potential for $239.66.

Deliver to Target in Tifton so max detention is almost guaranteed, lol.

This Target makes you drop and leave the property. Since it’s my second load of the day it works perfectly. Take a ten at the pilot .05 miles away and pickup my trailer afterwards. Who knows, maybe even splurge on a bubble bath for my truck

I love dealing with Target..

 

I don't. Lol. Not even as a regular customer.

 

$35 a mile is my best a couple years ago

Show up at staging 14 miles from the yard, company forgot to cancel truck, blew smoke for 8 hours Incase they changed their mind, drove home

 

Think my record is $2000 a mile. Drove 2 miles. Sat for almost 10 hours. Got loaded. Sat 10 more hours. Got forced to unload because their customer cancled sat nearly 10 more hours because they wouldnt let me leave. Left. Charged them for almost 30 hours of idle and a tonu

 

Nothing wrong with that!

This load ended up at $187.00 per mile adding in 1.5 hours detention. Booked @ 3 miles, actual 2.8 miles. Shipper and receiver I’ve been to many times but never one to the other. I knew what I was getting into before hand and it made sense.

Was deadheading up to Atlanta to a favorite shipper I’m trying impress with my desire to run their product. One day I may get up the nerve to present a sales pitch..

Found an easy load on my way for $500 going 122 miles delivery at 4am so I ran it..don’t really run these short runs but again it made sense and I didn’t go off route.

Delivered that one and saw one for $340. Was tired and really just wanted to pull off in Tifton for a couple hours. I ended up bidding $500 and not really interested anyway figured I’d sleep for two.

Woke up and someone bid $495 so agitated I bid $495 also, 30 seconds later the broker called and gave it to me.

All I had to do was take the exit, turn right pick the load up and go back west and drop my trailer. Ten hours later I picked up my empty and headed to Atlanta in the cool of the night.

Kind of funny but I ran that easy 122 mile $500 load again and delivered 6am this morning.

Stopped at the TA south Atlanta had a big IHOP breakfast, showered and now sitting at my favorite shipper again. Got a pickup in the morning going to Kent, WA. This shipper lets me stay here and it’s quiet and peaceful.

 

That load I could do every day of the week. Paid to sleep

 

You flat land guys really don’t know how good you have it sometimes, almost 6 mpg running 72-74 with 48k in the box, and I can use cruise since I’m not shifting every 45 seconds

oh and sapp Bro on the Nebraska line probably has the best steak and eggs I’ve ever had.
