cheap freight vs dead head

Time to put the waders on.

 

Break down of my last trip. Started 3-24-15 ended 4-6-15
mt266, ld1170-$4500/ mt54,ld1125-$1700 (This is low but it got me rolling on a Friday.) /mt151,ld1450-$4150/mt115,ld310-$750/mt240,ld1300-$2500/mt257
This was not a real good trip. But a decent one. Total miles 6438. This trip Gross $13,600 loaded miles $2.54 per mile. All miles $2.11 per mile. 20% empty for the trip is high. I also sat for both Sundays while on the road.
I ran one trip this week 174 loaded 350 total miles for $1000. Just to keep cash flow.
Will leave again Monday. My first leg I have booked. I have 180 empty miles and 1300 loaded gross income $3600. $2.43pm.
Good luck.

 

empty over cheap any day of the week!!! not gonna make someone rich off of my sweat; hell if you can't afford to pay a decent rate then maybe they should buy their own trucks and haul that ###### themselves!!!
