    Steady growth on your numbers as well as lower miles which is good. Your Jan Feb and March numbers however were low in my opinion. May work for you I don't know your cost to rub but if it's working then keep at it.
    Remember work smart not hard. Hang in there

    I don't know if that is true, when you run AA&E you can do quite well on 2000 miles, team required.

    Yes, that was the gross revenue on the settlement. We were chasing miles 1st the couple of months and once we quit chasing miles and started chasing revenue we starting making $$.

    I agree, the 1st three months were VERY low. We were chasing miles not revenue. That's what I was hoping to demonstrate. We're still in the learning curve, but looking close out April at $1.92/mile for ALL miles driven. On our last load for the month having to head home to deal with an issue with the house or we'd stay out. Working smarter not harder for sure! Thanks for the encouragement

    Again 1.92 Is alright. But still goes back to how many miles

    A full custom aluminum flat can get to 50k quicker than you think. Add in a well designed conestoga with images on the tarp and 70k is an easy number to hit. A good friend that's an independent is at 67k for a custom 53 Manac Dark Wing with a plain red Chameleon tarp with 105" inside.

    There are a large amount of teams that do that, or can do that, here if they're qualified. I see great team rates all the time on the board, and I doubt half of the team loads get posted there. I know none of the best paying team stuff does, as it goes direct to the Qualcomm for those that are qualified.
