What’s the average load rate coming out of Florida I just got a load for like $1.70 is that normal

A lot of drivers go up to GA.for better rates.

 

What city did you pick up at? That's pretty good to get back out.

 

He might have hit the Florida jackpot.

 

Going where and what type of load?

 

Serious question. Why take that load? Why not deadhead out for better money? Why Take a 1.70$ load to cover fuel, waste a day loading/unloading, when you could've been 500 miles in on a 5$ a mile load?

 

There’s no good way out of Florida. It’s ether grab a cheap Load, or Lose a day and fuel DH out. Either way the average rate for all miles are bad. Better get a good rate going in.

 

Indeed.
$3.48 going in, $1.00 going out averages out to $2.24 on the trip.
Not so bad. Not great, but not awful.

 

But, yeah, $1.70 is pretty good, but honestly it depends largely on where it puts you.
If it puts you in Mobile, you haven't gained much.

 

If I got 3.75 (4500) on 1200 miles and 1.70 (2000) coming out on 1200 miles then 2.70 (6500) is nothing to shake a stick at.

Better yet getting $5000 going in for a round trip of 2.91/mi. I don’t like cheap freight but it’s only cheap if you hauled cheap freight in.

Edit: Everyone on TTR always says don’t haul cheap freight out of bad markets. Have you ever considered you may be the cheap freight hauler coming in? It’s no different.
