WTF?

And that shocks you?

 

It's Florida everyone with common sense knows there's no money coming out of there only going in for good money 99% of the time you need to deadhead out of Florida

 

$1 for a reefer load leaving Florida. Have we really sunk that low?
If we have, it is time to park and drive for someone else. That is beyond ridiculous. I bet they billed 2800 for that.

 

Maybe they want it sitting there long enough to become Korean kimchi

 

It's a lot more reasonable than you guys are giving it credit for. NC is decent this time of year and FL is the worst of the worst. FL to MA for a dollar a mile? You must be on crack. FL to South Texas for a buck a mile? Yes please. NC isn't THAT good so I'd be expecting to pay closer 800... But it's not crazy if the cabbage load is ready to go and the delivery is flexible.

Remember that you NEED to be making VERY good money going into FL. If you run FL you should be making at least 3/4 of the money going in because you're going to be lucky to make 1/4 coming back out.

 

I will never pull refrigerated loads for that rate. On principle.

 

That's a stupid principle. Remember you're getting paid really well to come down. You've essentially already been paid the money you're missing on the load back out on the load coming in. You'd rather just not make the 700 bucks for doing one pick and one drop? What makes a good FL load is how much time it adds to how long it takes you to get out of the state. If you're too rich to sell MAYBE half a day of your time for 700 bucks I'm not sure why you're driving a truck for a living.

Find something that will load quickly and get empty quickly where you need to go and take the money.

EDIT: Of course also look as far north as Atlanta to find a load that actually loads quickly and unloads quickly for the money. Usually the GA sheds pay almost exactly the same money as the FL ones.
