Yeah, I suppose that's fair. I know that when I was calling out over the last month+ I'd think I had a handle on where the rate was, and then I'd be off the mark by a pretty substantial amount, at least on my full vans. I guess I'm seeing it come back down to Earth a little, but not too crazily.

We got a lot of rain this week and lost a lot of loads because of that (lol produce). From what I can tell the market is down slightly (like 100-200 bucks on longer lanes to FL) out of south Texas and Nogales.

i tried out further north this week, did ok to chesapeke, va(2.35), pittsburg(2.70) and KY (1.90), now i got the truck heading out to LA from KY at 1.80 with 25k load, regretting it but its done, its nice for a change to do a long haul to be ready monday morning. will see how rates are there working back up to midwest area
PPLC Thanks this. -
$1.5 back I am sure
-
Where in KY are you landing? If you're in central KY, say around the Elizabethtown or Louisville area, I can give you some tips on where to get a decent breakfast... That said - OB KY isn't a great market, but it isn't horrible, either.

Truck was in Louisville for drop off, moved to owensboro to pick up to LA
-
Gotcha. Don't know Owensboro very well - still have friends down that way. I'm a Central Kentucky transplant, lived there off and on for seventeen years, before I got drug up to MN.
-
KY is a better market than $1.80 to LA.
spyder7723 and whoopNride Thank this. -
Forgive me if it's been said, your a one truck show right? Are these rates TTT?
-
LA means Louisiana right? If it means Los Angeles it might not suck THAT much. Not incredible, but definitely not garbage.
