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?

 

It isn't bad. Passed everything today with flying colors. Drug screen is out but no worries there. I'm trying to get through theweek.

 

Hey do you go into canada I have a passport?

 

Honestly?? Because rates leaving the Carolinas going up to New York and New England, 99% of the time pay great and usually only a days drive with delivery the next day.
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........

 

We can but not something that we focus on. The money seems attractive until you start to figure in all the waiting time and coming back MT.

 

It is all about the market that you serve. For us, what freight I have that serves that market doesn't pay to justify the fuel, tolls, etc compared to what we get running north.

 

Don't question THE man ! It's a losing battle ! Bill has it figured out. Too bad I'm skateboarding.
