    When I look at the load boards I am seeing a lot going for 1200-1400 for 400-600 mile runs. Which could most likely be done in one day minus load time. Is that realistic?

    @Phoenix_rides_again Your above example of a rate is definitely possible. I didn't see it posted, are you pulling a flat, van,reefer,etc?

    DO NOT base your decision on today's rates. They're unrealistic and will not last.
