    Yeah it sucks but do 500 + mile loads out of the Northeast ever pay much better than that?
    It's always close to $1 or less most all the time.

    What is laughable is Rotterdam to West Jefferson, 3 of those loads next week.
    Check those babies out lol

    You can find ok rates out..but you have to be quick and lucky.
    I went from NJ to OH then OH to SC.
    SC to DE this week..paid well.
    But I was lucky to get that 1st load out.

    Hey is it hard hauling/carrying a 40,000 lb plus load or ya'll just hate the fuel it drains especially in the NE with the hills?

    quick and lucky is right lol.
    I usually escape through or close to OH.
    Schneider can keep all those long cheap loads out, I have not and will never ever haul any of them

    well sure it sucks but that's why you gotta get big rates to make up for it.
    I hate 44k in PA and Upstate New York but I don't mind when it's paying me $2.50+ lol.
    Been there, done that a bunch.

    weekend loads were soooooo bad I ended taking one of those heavy loads to PA :biggrin_25510:
    My choices were that or go down south for cheap and be stuck with more cheap.

    BUT all is not doomed.. I figured a way to escape the black hole to just north of Cincinnati for $1.73 all miles.
    Weekend = saved! :wav:

    Schneider added a load nearby in New Mexico to there.
    Might be your lucky day, then again the load is going to Tampa so probably not lol

    Yes the total rate.
    However you can still get over $2 going into that blackhole.
    Endless loads always going into the Northeast
    Trying to leave not for peanuts is the challenge
