MEMPHIS AND FLATBEDS

Lol. These are legal weight and about 10" tall. The rate I quoted you at the start was legal loads.

Let me splain it so you can understand.

You take the rate of $2511 and divide it by 780 miles and you come up with????

Yeah that's right 3.21923077

You would have to nearly double that rate for me to cross the Mississippi.

 

I have gotten more in the past. Buddy of mine is hauling $3 loads out of Wyoming right now and has been for two weeks.

 

Well you think everyone is lying and that's fine. But if 2.85 was the outstanding rate you think it is why are you on here begging for trucks to come to memphis?

 

Dude I get more than that for about half my customers. You don't find out about how the other half lives till you are an operator with a niche rather than brokering freight any clown can pull. But you guys are important for us to make spending money on the way home after we've already made our money on the way out. And we went to Playa del Carmen last month, not Cancun. Although that's where the plane landed.

 

The thing is, shippers pay for dependability. No he is not going to New York. They have product that needs to move.

Before getting my own truck my boss got 4 loads. Legal and light. $4.00 a mile up, reload equipment Being replaced and $4.00 a mile back. This was a brokered load too. Not all brokers are cheap.

With the costs and liabilities all on our shoulders and increasing all the time, cheap freight can rot.

Just so you know, $2.85 is not the same as $3.00. At least not at the school I went to.
