mercer transportation

and as a matter of fact jersey to ohio, ohio to indiana, and then back to ohio for the same rate, + 220 miles of deadhead is far more than 1300 miles 'just sayin'

 

hang around a while longer and you will fully understand what spyder is saying, sometimes the 1.95 a mile load in the long run beats the pants of the 2.30 a mile load. it all it what it is, what it weighs and where it ends up.

 

maybe it is im retaracting that statement on 1300 miles im sittin here addin it up in my head i guess it can be done depending where in oh and indiana your going

 

ya must be something special going on there cause 2.73 a mile out of jersey is great to go west, all i ever see is 1.70, 1.65, but those are just regular flat loads, no extra gimmicks or oversize or anything like that

 

hey i thought that ups thing was suppose to be hammer down till xmas? ran two loads out of scranton to maryland, was suppose to be three but 3rd got cancelled. then dh it to harrisburg to go to toledo ran that and thought when i got back in harrisburg would be dispatched again, only to find out wouldnt be another load till sunday this is on thursday, what happen to the go go go lots of money to be made runnin ups, i wasnt too impressed. is it like that everywhere? or only in my jerked up area? needles to say back to the flat we go if im going to be camping for three days waitin for a load we can do that at home

 

Newark to cleveland 8 ft 8 oversize 39k lbs bouncing to canton oh picking up a tank 33 k lbs to columbus in drop and pick up at the same place going back to canton oh.newark is 140 miles from the house cleveland to canton 60 miles

 

You said you drove 200 miles to pick up I was in iowa city past tuesday and seen so many loads paying well over 2 a mile.i dh to chicago 220 miles away for a 2 stop load to philly paying 2.5.the devil in the details isa true statement.i have to work harder cause im not like most of you guys with payed off trucks and payed off toys

 

while there are lots of those 1.70 loads, there is also quite a few 2. to 2.25 ones. are you searching the board yourself or relying on your coordinator?

 

omg i just looked on there they just posted runs out of harrisburg to saddle brook nj and back to harrisburg for 482.00 what a freakin joke. who in the hell would do that?

 

I was much further in than iowa city. also, they would load late if needed and wasn't entirely positive my delivery would get me out fast, so when it showed up Wednesday morning I jumped on it. is it likely I could have done better? maybe, but it is winter and wasn't gonna risk getting held up delivering, not being able to make it to a pickup on time and sitting till Monday in this frozen tundra.
