    I assure you if there are, no one will share this information. Rates out of California are poor. You are better off trying to make your money on the way out.

    Again, IF I dealt with a shipper WHY would I give you that info?

    Call some brokers and load your wagon, that's what the majority of them do.

    Your might as well ask about rates out of southern Florida in the winter. These locals have always been freight holes. Lots going in and few going out. The ones going out do not have to pay much because the demand by companies trying to move trucks are so high they will do it just to cover the fuel and driver costs forget the profit. I've long wondered why the companies just didn't play with California and stop meeting the states outrageous demands. A few days of nothing coming in would cure the foolishness out there.

    I have a shipper that pays $3 a mile back to NC got it because someone on here posted that they was paying them $4 a mile so I will post it so you can bid $2.50 a mile get my point you have a better chance pulling into the federal reserve and telling them you want a truck load of unmarked bills

    some good info you guys are giving but the thing is brokers only give a certain amount then charge up for the "quick pay" option which makes your hard work money go away. its 6500$ out of the delano are which is 100 miles more north from bakersfield going to New york. if anybody has any tips please PM me if you arent willing to share thanks!
