Why mostly I-95? That is an expensive lane to run. Greenville is a good market but going N gets into OH and Detroit pays the better rates. How far up the 95 are you thinking?

Also because I have no desire to run "wild" chasing rates to the mid west and if I want to run south to Florida those rates 99% of the time pay great.
I understand alot of folks look at those areas as black holes but usually with a little patience, the rates going in more then makes up for the bad rate coming out.
OTOH, I have looked at running to the Michigan, Ohio market and have seen that those rates going AND coming from the Carolinas are steady, profitable rates; so why would I choose to run the I95 corridor instead?? Because when I was doing that I KNEW, I mean 100% KNEW I was gonna a MONSTER of a rate going up aleast once in a 10 day time frame!! That and D.C. Logistics kept me loaded with a solid rate without looking at the load board.
Stupid I know but I was happy........BigBadBill Thanks this. -
Losttrucker, Ive run south-north lanes so far. The rates up and back have been steady and equal both directions. Gotta do what makes you happy though. Even this Texas run should pay equal each direction, dispatch has checked with customers before sending me to a typically bad area. But the outbound load pays well enough to rate chase if i need too. I dont know which side of f2f you are looking to join, but on the Solutions side dispatch does great keeping you in profitable lanes.
