Do u run off load boards only???

I pull a can in Mid-west and when I factor out my direct business I am above $2/mile. Current load is from LS at $4/mile with re-load from CHR at $2.60/mile.

And what has been said about cheap is 100% correct. I have CHR tell me all the time that I will not take a load for the rate they could do. They don't even waste my time. Regular CHR load near me that I get twice what others haul it for. Now I won't get that rate three days before it ships but phone rings the afternoon before to see if I'm available.

OK, off topic, watching a driver trying and move a van from one location to another without raising landing gear and just dug the feat into the ground. All bent up and now can't raise them. Hate to make that call.

 

Full disclosure, I've done that - once. Yard dog had to ram under to raise it 2", crank crank crank - ram - crank crank crank - you get the picture.

 

At least he still has some room on the landing gear.

 

wow! ive never done that, but i have high-hooked once. employer's policy is high-hook = automatic termination. lucky for me it was at a backhaul and the yard dog was mighty cool about it. that was alot easier to get out of, and he didn't rat on me.

 

That is harsh
