    $0.13* per mile higher than the average trucking company, and $0.06* per mile higher than the next highest paying carrier. but 1/2 the mile than the average trucking company.

    so if your making 38 per mile x 3000=1140 at heartland you can make 51 per mile x 1500=765

    plus at heartland you'll make alot of pu/delv 8 to 12 a week this makes for a lot of waiting time no pay for that you'll also get 300 mile weekend loads if you get one at all

    Wow this sound like what JB hunt did when they started the 37-41cpm deal. Guess Heartlands learns from the Best.

    So if your running 3,500 paid miles and it's probably more like 4,000 true miles and make $800 your better off than running 1,500 (1,800 true) and make $750 at Heartland.

    This is typical most everywhere except for a few. Many buy and employ assuming an economy that is going like gang-busters and they're the only ones in the trucking business. Problem is the economy sucks, has sucked, and will suck, and there is a huge amount of competition for a relatively small amount of freight, especially dry freight. Look for 75-200 truck carriers. They seem to have a proper handle on the realistic freight:truck ratio that they can/should support, long term and don't expand too quickly, failing to get the subsequent freight expansion along the way.
