    Hey guys i Hauled cars the last year or 2, the rates went down to 35 cent a mile and my trailer went into storage because im not running my equipment for Doo Doo lol, things are slow again on my side of the business, is it worth pulling out the wedge or are there still the brokers with the "great" $0.32 cents per mile pay? I left because it got bad, i was also in a single axle truck with 225hp and 4.44 gears lol so it ate fuel. Im guessing the season went bad. How are things on CD on the east coast?

    Picking up as far as more loads or higher paying rates? I'm guessing you mean rates

    I put the filter at $.50 a mile, if it doesn't pay that, it can sit. I don't stress over $. 32 a mile cars. If no one would haul those cheap cars, the rates would go up.

    When loads go down rates go down and loads are down this time of year.
