    $3 a mile going in is not good enough when you have to come out for $1 something.

    Neither rates or volume have moved in a positive direction where I run. Both continue to fall.

    2K for a day of work is more than enough. Then the rates going out are more like $2 per mile.
    But I don't think they'll give you 2K from Chicago to Fargo.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    Chicago used to be the place to be empty on Monday mornings. Always plenty of loads paying good.
