    ummm not sure why you chose a stepdeck to try and get away from people lowballing rates as you will find the same thing doing this kind of work. Matter of fact, swift is trying to find hundreds of drivers for their flatbed div and they are paying a whopping 26 cpm to any driver stuipid enough to sign on. And Boyd bros are trying to screw us all by a new intermodal flatbed thing they got going on. Good luck!

    Try surviving on $1.55 per mile all miles. By the time you pay for fuel, repairs, loan and insurance there is nothing left over.

    Still didnt answer my question. You think that rate isnt out here in the flatbed/stepdeck world, better think again. Every tom,dick and harry is coming to flatbedding and hauling 1.50 like there;s no tomorrow because they dont know and dont care

    $1.50 Is pathetic. An O/O who accept rates like that deserve what they get. I'm wasting my time on here because all I'm talking to is bottom feeders.

    With exception to aiwiron I'm hearing a lot of ########. If your accepting rates less than $2 per mile your only dragging this industry to its doom.
