    Wait hold up.... $1.75 from Chicagoland to VA BEFORE Celadon gets there cut... Y'all still wanna tell me that's a good rate after Celadon gets there 60%??

    And by the way, if you're hauling anything out of Chicagoland under $2.40 a mile in a Van before your company cut, you're a fool...

    You may have a point FW...don't know if that's before or after their cut. I also have not run further than Front Royal since I've been here, so I don't really know the VA market/lanes that well.

    VA sucks.. only things above $1.50 go into the Northeast blackhole.
    Everything else pays peanuts.

    VA is not good at all for outbound freight. Everything going in either direction besides Northeast is horrible. You got plenty of Beer, Paper and Soda loads that all pay $1.70 or below to go 400-500 miles usually across West Virginia...

    I've never voluntarily pulled a load from IL into VA. VA sucks

    I usually only pull a cheap load to get the hell out of PA into the MidWest, then run around there until I decide to go home. No interest in running the eastern seaboard.
