Proud my stuff is paid for and my insurance is cheap. Looks like a lot of time off this winter...michigantruckerb and Scooter Jones Thank this. -
Not too long ago, $1.10 a mile + Fuel Surcharge was spoken as a sucker rate. I see that the threshold now is declared on this forum @ 2 dol/mile. Quite a change in the span of a few years. Must be two things: US Dollar losing its value or this industry is becoming more lucrative.Still, @ 2 dol a mile lots of people can make a living, if they're willing to run over 80K-100K miles a year and they will. Attrition threshold I see at about 1.5 a mile - money starts to run out quickly.

For example, if hazmat paid extra $300 on 4 loads during a week above other loads, that’s $1200 a week, and 4 times a week pays off your monthly brand new truck and trailer.
Most drivers think one load should pay them their house price. But most hazmat we do is for example like paint, or nail polish, etc.AaronP Thanks this. -

So, who do you think is greedy here? The company I lease the truck from (MGR in Illinois) or the broker? -
