    Averages mean nothing. I regularly pull loads paying a full 50% more than they would have last year.

    I can believe that. Seems higher, but if you figure in all miles, plus the fact I've been trying to run shorter runs, that's probably about right, I've just been really slowly converting to the percentage business model versus the mileage one.

    Averages mean nothing? In an overall picture they do across a company wide portrayal. In your reply to razor , you then assume he regularly gets 50 per cent more. It would total revenue would be up quite a bit , it would be way up there , if thousands weren't lost.

    Asked and answered! Again, no they don't! Now for my question, do you think they know they have 107 contractors without coordinators?

    Out of curiosity, other than not having fill in coordinators call you, what is the benefit to being board 30 or 34? Seems to me, despite my intermittent frustrations over pointless phone calls, having a second pair of eyes on the board is never a bad thing

    I don't know what razor gets. And i don't want to. It's not any of my business. I know what i get. And what i get far exceeds the company released average numbers. If all i made was the fleet average id get a real job. Quite frankly the fleet average sucks and any monkey could match it.
