    That’s what I am doing trying to figure out the rates that would be common when the dust settles after corona and election.

    also what kind of rates does Uber freight have?

    that two job crap was killing me I was hauling this ash and working industrial maintenance.

    now only ash but a month after buying my truck the said it was ending by beginning of next year.

    debating which route to go. figure average take home. What % I pay myself and what % to the company.

    thank you looks like the wisest money would be in reefer unless I get direct contracts. I know of one company near me if you use their trailer is 1.62 out and back or $3 with yours. But I don’t think they would talk to me. I totaled one of their trucks 12years ago. In order to avoid hitting someone head on
