    I have pulled many loads paying $7-$10 per mile going 130 miles. :biggrin_25514:. Easy money...

    Few weeks ago I pulled a load out of Michigan going to Missouri 450 miles paid $11.88 per mile. Not oversize or nothing. Legal pipe load just heavy at 51,000lbs. Hot load needed it now. I deadheaded from the house to pick it up and then deadheaded from Missouri to the house.

    You can often score with short miles loads. I had a short load that allowed me to sit a day and stay in the same market.

    Helped with the rate bringing me home for the week.

    It works on the law of averages.

    Mega-mile loads are nice like that on occasion, but 300-600 miles long loads tend to bring better rates with them. Almost regional like.

    call Sammons, might be a stretch, but also talk with Bill at farm to fleet. He posts alot. Seems like a fair person
    Some say Mercer also.
    There several that post that are with them...

    MNdriver is leased to a company. I am currently leased to a company. I will be getting my authority in the middle of march for something different though. The thing about the big money per mile is they are short hauls but I can do a couple short hauls faster and make better money.
     
    driverdriver, MNdriver and skierzek Thank this.

    F2F runs flat bed or dry van and you'd be in the fleet for age. I actually have the second newest truck and it's a 2007.

    We are self-dispatched and I have been getting most of my loads off of Internet truck stop.

    You make of it what you put into it here. I am a "rookie" o/o. I just bought my truck in July. I can't say I have made a killing, but I am holding my own for the most part.
