    I'm trying to put a route plan together and I don't plan on being part of the undercut problem we have in the trucking industry.

    I know a few owners personally and know what rates they get on some loads, however it would be nice to have more input.

    If you are leased on to a bottom feeders, please do not leave any information for I will not run my truck at those rates.

    I know what the spot marked range is. Any honest information will be appreciated.

    I asked for a starting point of Illinois but as long as you give a start and finish point with # of drops and rate of pay than your information will help me and others not be a part of the cut throat problem but help keep rates from bottoming out in the feature.

    I'm looking for answers to all United States freight.

    Thanks for all honest information.

    To many OO for this to make a difference. Just pay for a fancy loadboard to get all the stats you will ever want.

    No I dont. I don't know you from Adam. Why on earth do you think I would know what YOU THINK are bottom feeder rates ?

    WOW Found a load to Miami Florida from Chicago for $1.50 I better jump on it.

    1375 miles = $2062.50 in the money now.

    Pick up tonight and delivers next thursday.



    I have been wanting a vacation and this is my chance.

    They even got a back haul from tampa to Peoria for $1.38 pick up next Thursday and delivers Saturday morning 9am.

    This is a dummy statement.

    You are leaving out some specifics. I am guessing you have your own authority and your own trailer. If you can make money at those rates you don't need confirmation from anyone on this forum. You can get all the rate information you can stand on the internet, which I am sure you already do. Enjoy Disney World.
