    I run reefer and my fleet uses an eld. We are all profitable and run legal. It just takes a little planning ahead of time.

    My average rate will probably go up over time. As a new authority a lot of people will not load you. After 6 months a lot more opportunities open up.

    While in town I went to the mailbox and I now have my toll pass and weigh station bypass from BestPass in the truck. That will be nice.

    Its different but basically the same. It is also tired into toll roads so works as both a prepass and ezpass/sunpass etc.

    Oklahoma is in the works. It covers Kansas and Texas though. Weigh station bypass is not available in 7 states. They have discounts on tolls as well. It averages 20% off the cost you see posted. I don't think it will be long for OK seeing as they have KS and TX already.

    I use bestpass as well and mine covers Oklahoma, just doesn't cover Washington state tolls.

    Same broker that's been hooking me up has me booked through next week. Got to get back to the home market, to FL, to MS, back to home market. Rate on all miles will be 1.82 a mile. All of the moves are his loads.

    If you continue to run below market rates im sure he will be happy to keep you loaded and moving. You're making him a fortune.
