    I would stay away. When I was with a small carrier (4 trucks) and pulling flat bed they underbid us on alot of loads. They simple were hauling it for free. The head shipper was a good friend and she told us the rates that others were doing stuff for and Pacer was just stupid. They were taking 44,000-48,000 pounds of steel out of Ohio to Texas for about $1.30 a mile (and no fuel surcharge).

    Everybody does stuff like that, as long a somebody for them will haul it for $1.30/mi then why sould they bid any higher. I am leased to them right now and yes I see cheap stuff on their board, most pays pretty good for right now, there is freight moving, not a good as it could be but not too much is. I have only been there 3 weeks so I hope once we get rid of these short weeks things will start movin again

    They have trailers you can pull, 75% your trailer, 65% their trailer. Tractor must be at least a 90, wb doesn't matter unless you run western canada with a 53' trailer
