Rates in car hauler?

Reading about all that hard work makes me appreciate the fine carrier I am leased to even more. My straight drop of 10 units with nearly 15 miles of deadhead to my 11 unit home load, doesn't even seem like work when thinking about all he had to do. I really feel for someone working that hard. I almost had to get a second venti mocha at the Starbucks to feel better about it. Life leased to a carrier with plenty of freight is very good! In my opinion.

 

Starbucks gross

 

They have an outdoor patio and it is a nice day down in Alabama! I couldn't go straight to the Logans Roadhouse at 330 in the afternoon.

 

One night otr this week huh?

 

I am taking one for the team. They are covered up in Al and plenty of loads to Ohio. They took care of me both ways. 1 drop going down and 2 in Ohio going back. Couple nights out aren't so bad.

 

Anyone who says they're making $400,000/yr hauling Amazon freight, I'll call a liar. Their certainly not pulling it directly from Amazon, so they are using a broker and that freight isn't consistent. Especially because Amazon will order 5 trucks and cancel 3 loads and not tell anyone.

 

My thoughts as well. We hauled a bunch for them from Nov to mid January and the key is to say no to thier rates at first until they get desperate. I feel sorry for all the guys who agreed to 1.75/mi when we got them up to 2.30 to 2.50 a few weeks later. Made great money dropping and hooking their trailers light loads down empty back.

 

Hello, Guys!
What is your opinion? Is it better to use one or two established routes (with a radius of 100-150 miles) and pick the loads on the way or take most valuable loads using various routes and areas? Thanks
