    Mainly 6 or 7 depends who’s buying you know usually it’s a hit or missed with the auction but normally I gotta sit at home a few days to get something decent

    Hopefully they are forced out at a higher rate than haulers.

    I usually see them trying to pay less than $100 per unit for a full load and then coming back its tough to get three singles generally speaking. Everytime i do that flip im lucky to see $1200 round trip. And getting those three back is usualky the big time waster.

    I called on my first load in over a month and heres how it went. Load posted 9 units 460 mi. $2000.
    He said i was the third caller and he has offers for $1500 and he would give it to me for $1400 lol I said i didnt call to make offers but i told him by noon he would probably find an idiot to haul them for $1100

    Im with you. I inherited my truck and its paid off. I parked that sheet and went to work for a company hauling for USPS.

    Originally it wasn't to demonstrate anything. I just can't fiscally or logically haul what they are asking to where they are asking for what they are paying. I am tremendously angered by anyone I see hauling dirt cheap loads now. A...How? B...Why?
