What do guys think..

Are you getting FSC on top of rates you posted? What insurance does the $150/week cover? Who pays for reefer fuel? First load pays you $1.14/mile, second $1.04/mile. Doesn't seem enough to me, especially into those areas with tolls and all.

 

If they charged you for everything, like insurance, their plate, and you pay the quarterly fuel tax, and you drag their trailer, I'd say for them to take 17% and you get 83% sounds fair to me on the surface. I say that with the notion you get into some decent paying loads, which so far going of what you posted isnt the case.

However, you live in, or are at least based in Miami, a crappy area (6 months of the year) for freight dollar wise. If you are going to haul freight that pays just over a buck, dont take it into an area that also pays just a buck a mile.

Now you're in texas, a spot that will likely give the third leg of your trip another buck a mile. (depending on where to)

IMO, on this trip you are hovering around breaking even or loosing money.

 

what happened to the flatbed adventure?! did it go that badly? I can't comment on reefer from exp. but those rates certainly seem low

 

it don't seem like enough to me either, i think you could find a better deal

 

Bad deal.

Good for the company since they have you paying for almost everything and hauling their cheap freight. We make 80% of the load, all FSC, and tarping. None of us will move under $2 per mile. Unless of course we have a second leg setup that will pay us a load more per mile. Then we will haul a lower rate into the area. Never at a loss or just break even though.
