    I've done the Columbus to Napoleon load probably about 7 times.
    Vandalia to Stuart's draft twice.
    Both are consistent loads and are contract freight, rates haven't changed besides FSC.
    Besides that there's a fine line allowed about publicly speaking about rates per specific customers, it's best to be general.
    Those loads pay okay but I don't plan my operation around them. I usually try to avoid VA because it sucks, think both times I went to Stuart's Draft was on weekends when I had few options to pick from.
    As for those other ones... nope.
    Rome, NY to Philadelphia.. sounds like a torture chamber trip to me

    only so much we can say vs what you can do and learn. Best advice I can give is to study the markets, lanes and load board when you get started.

    Here's the thing...no one driver can transport all the loads AND not all the ICs are viewing the load board at the EXACT same time, so pardon my back with that BS regarding competing businesses. So no one wants to quote revenues for trips?...cool. No problem. I won't ask again.

    I beg the differ... Everyone is looking at the best rate at the same time. The cheap stuff remains on the board all the time. Those places you requested are on the board all day and night. You should have no problem booking those loads. These days the good freight gets gone in seconds.

    Publicly posting specific customers rates per load is against the rules.
    You just can't go oh "oh P&G from here to here pays this". I know of a driver on here that runs the Northeast whom Schneider called and blasted shortly after posting on this forum what Moneyleg is asking for.
    In the past I myself use to be too specific about how I run and recently have cut back.
    Anyways he'll shortly learn those rules and what those loads pay.
