Memphis Rates

For RGN it is about $3.50/ mile.

 

if you are only going back to the carolinas you will be at the mercy of what is availble at the time, that being said you should be able to get something out of memphis for 1.50+ a mile if you can find a contact. might check some of the load boards and landstar's broker board, quite a bit of van freight out of memphis everyday, good luck to you.

 

Schneider's load board has their rates at $1.25-$1.55 going to NC and VA, just so you can see how cheap they are running stuff for

 

Do you people honestly believe RGN's get $3.50 in that part of the country ... seriously ?

And how much do you think SNI is getting those loads for before skimming off the top ?

Fuel is @ $4 a gal guys... besides a good load + a poor load = a wash

 

Spot market is all over the place depending on volume and timing, and how picky you are with time and destination. My experience is Memphis is a "medium" market. Not too hard to get out of, but not exactly flush with a lot of loads all the time. Usually around $2/mi is not too hard to get (reefer/van).

Looking at Members Edge shows a bunch on the board for Mon/Tue, but mostly two big brokers. That said, it's Sunday, so that's the leftovers from Friday night. If I look at it at Monday morning it will be a totally different list.
