Question about going to Texas

The whole east coast is flat, only mountains are Appalachian, it's out west where you'll find mountains.

 

Because it is fact of the current market, even the most slightly mature and educated would know this and not resort to personal attacks.

Publicly traded companies reveal what is going on, don't take my word for it.

Trucking carriers are out here operating at a loss per mile.




Ch robinson, you know the large brokerage crashed during it's earnings report and stated how terrible the freight market is.





Trucking authorities going bye bye at quick pace.




Even in good times it is bad coming out of Texas.
Texas is not far behind Florida and Colorado in terms of lots coming in and a whole lot less going out.
Got to get big money going in for it to make sense.

 

I frequently took loads from Akron to Houston. No serious issues. My preferred route was I-71 to Louisville, then I-65 to Elizabethtown, Kentucky. Then go west on the Western Kentucky Parkway (at some point it turns into I-69) all the way to the Mississippi River past Dyersburg. South on I-55 to I-40 to Little Rock, then I-30 to Texas. Easy peasy, and a lot less traffic AND hills compared to going down through Nashville.

 

There just hills nothing more You’ll be fine with your truck don’t let people scare ya

 

I’ve never had any trouble getting out of any of the states you mentioned in fact I just come out of Colorado a while back at a little over 5.00 per mile load can get loads out of Tx all day long for that too

 

Awww, well I get $9 per mile out of Colorado

 

Ok …..

 

He probably doesn’t want to pull the trailer that gets that rate so he’s stuck looking at load board rates for general freight.

I almost had a moment of weakness last year and went to help my friend in MT. They were at $6.45 on 50k, prorate up. Just under $8 a loaded mile on 62k load.

 

Yeah let's not forget permit and escort costs.
