    Idk, you hear/read so much conflicting s#*t about Choice, it's hard to know what is true, what's false and what is just someone who would complain if they were handed $5/mi freight everyday lol. $2.30/mi would more than do well with my business plan!

    Ha ha . See that's why I locked in a 1.50 minimum . It's not stellar but I don't have to cringe before I see the rate quote

    Well unlike most i actually posted screenshots of my statements and loads when I got endlessly called out to prove it.
    Now people mostly leave me alone lol.

    Don't worry, I'm sure ill be under $2 all miles for the week once i leave orlando. All $0.80- $0.90 loads out of there.


    If you wanna know nunbers... guys running the Northeast that live there ive seen a few average in the $1.90s for the year.
    I mainly stay in the Midwest and average in the $1.70s to $1.80s.

    Bare in mind these are all mainly shorter loads. A long load for me is 400 miles. Also what i and others pull off doesn't mean anybody else will.

    I use to have many weeks over $2 but pssh that dont happen anymore.

    I hear about great rates, then I hear about terrible rates. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with freight lanes and distances people run as well also, but you don't get the whole picture from just reading posts. I ran reefer for percentage starting out, and I saw how freight lanes/distance affect rates a lot. I.E., pulling loads from PA to say Wisconsin would usually pay garbage(.90-1.15/mi), where a load from VA to Long Island would usually run in the 3.00+ range. Short hauls were usually a bit better than my 1000 mile hauls also, again depending on lanes.
