Who would take this load ??

if I was back into flatbed I wouldn't take it either, it's way under a fair rate. and it's going into a freight DEAD zone no way. $1.65 per mile is my fixed rate without driver pay. I know for afact that load should pay at least $7K with 2 pick ups and 2 drop offs it obviously should be more. the last flatbed load I had in 2012 paid me from California going into Canada with 2 pick ups and one drop off I made $11K.

running miles are 3798 for $5526.

that works out to $1.45 a running mile.

Into a DEAD hole with a long bounce most likely happening.

plus tarping 4 times for $50 each time.

plus adding in any additional money for tolls or added miles to avoid toll roads.

Uh.....


No....


It's not even close to a fair rate.

 

A fair rate is $4.00 a mile

 

Don't take it then! Hang out and wait for some gravy to come your way.

 

10 foot pole applies to this load

 

The miles are short by a min. of 300 and that is never seeing interstate across OR (yikes). Then you have the toll roads of IN, OH, NY. This load is a stinker, no doubt as only fools go into the Northeast at under $2, no matter the long haul. It seems Blanche is personally offended by this, but 1.62 after factoring out tolls and to tarp and untarp for a two pick/two drop load going to the Northeast in the middle of winter, is slightly low by a lot.

The operating cost of a carrier has nothing to do with the determination that this is a stinky load. I have a super low operating cost myself, with a truck that has been paid off for over 4 years, yet I still averaged $2.10 per mile last year, to the truck, for ALL miles.

 

i'd go broke hauling loads like that if Blanche thinks it's such a great load her should jump on it

 

1.65 mile is your fixed rate without driver pay huh? If its that much without I'd hate to ask what you think your worth. So it cost you 16.500 for every 10.000 miles run huh? Let's see: 6mpg at 4 dollars a gallon is 6,700 dollars approx. trk payment 3,000. Ins. Maint. Ect. What maybe 2,000. 11,700 approx. where's the other 5,000 come in at?? Doesnt quite add up?
