What is your rate as a IC not a O/O leased on

That is your 1st MISTAKE...Never agree to get paid by the ''mile''...Toss that out of your mind..

 

You are absolutely right . Have a nice day

 

Have a nice day..You seem to be all over the map..

 

I can only relay info about one fellow I know....a former LS who has been on his own 18 months now. Just had his first audit and as of last qtr he is averaging $1.89 for all miles. He says he keeps his minimum at $2pm and has still managed to hang onto a lot of his old LS freight.

 

you are in chicago land. look in the mirror and tell the guy to be more aggressive. when i pulled a box chi land made me $ leaving it. do not leave for less than $3/mile. be aggressive and patient

 

Cant really see my dispatcher in the mirror. 2.4 per running mile is what I knew they are grossing regionally before I joined the co. No point getting agressive or patient when I get what I agreed to beforehand. Its easy to score goodpaying freight out of Chi. Coming back is another story.

I have called numerous companies in my area. NOBODY in real life averages better with a dry box. Going rate for otr is below 2 and for short hauls around 2.5. I Know of some folks who average close to 3 exclusively driving Northeast. They can have it.

 

Its all my fault. Sometimes I take basic math and reading skills for granted. Let me help you out with your dilemma.
when somebody claims to average $2 per mile after the company's cut .
and that somebody stands to make 82 percent from the total gross
in order to find out that total gross number you do the following:
2 divide by 82 and multiply by 100.
you get 2.4.
honestly at first I thought that you pulling my leg posting all those redundant remarks. or some kids hijacked your account and began demonstrating early symptoms of ADD and the short term memory loss.
but then I realized you're for real so here you go

 

I remember one that posted that he's from Canada and netting a 1000 dollars a day pulling a train of chemical tankers. I remember myself thinking yeah that's where the real money is. but at the same time its not that I'm going to do it and go to Canada. like many said on this forum you need to find a niche and get some kind of specialized equipment to make money. I think that the poster disappeared after somebody said there is a big difference between Us and Canadian dollar .
