    Best rate:
    2 loads $100/ mile, but only three miles, so $600 for 12 miles total and took all day.
    Best total dollars:
    $14,000 to haul 18,000 lbs from Los Angeles to Whitehorse a week before Christmas.

    Mine was over a few months not just one load. Recycled plastics. 400.00 on 70 loaded miles. Couple times a week. This I could work in on my way home and delivered 3 miles from where I parked the truck. But the kicker is that the warehoused this stuff. When the went to use it it was somehow contaminated. Then they paid the 400.00 to haul back to shipper. Then rehaul to delivery. I hauled the same product 3 times. Still kept my normal lane happy. In all it added 43k to my yearly gross and not many miles. 2013 was a good year. Had to hustle but man it was good.

    Building to building move of a "classified" object, three days worth of being on site, one for loading, one day to actually move at very very very slow speed and one day to unload.

    Gross to the truck was $31.520.

    Cost for the entire operation including DH was just under $1200 - this included the driver's hotel room at a very nice hotel for three days.

    The only reason we got it was the other company did not show up to do the work and we were the next qualified company on the list. Nothing special about the trailer or the object itself other than the loading and unloading, it was under 150k.

    Ya just head up 2 ft collins. Tons of great high paying lightweight bud heading all directions. Lol. What blows my mind is the logistics. They always have beer heading 2 Laredo from there and it's the same products as the Houston plant. Not sure how they logistics and fulfillment departments figure the most profitable route. But sure. Hell sometimes I guess it ends up being #### near the same price. Which in itself speaks 4 the whole industry area around Denver

    Had to be $500 on 5 miles. $100/mile.

    Literally got on the interstate, then off at the next exit.

    GM load of empty plastic bins, strapping took longer than the drive.
