More wear on equipment and more messy to clean in warm weather. Also if it’s warm it uses more fuel
Rates can change week to week, sometimes even in a day. Brokers can sniff it based on the # of trucks posted and # of loads. I don’t believe there...

Do you have access to a load board? Right now I see NC 1422 miles $3,800, to NJ $6,200. Didn’t call so could be multi drops.
What were the rates cupped at? You realize there are 1000’s of brokers. Would be kinda hard for them to gather at some conference and cap the...
You’re not reading correctly. You can get $4-5/mile out of a good area going to NE, then get $1.5 to get out, so the average can be 2.50-3.00....
Who got together - brokers?
$4-5/mile is easier to find on 300-600 mile loads or even 1000-1200 miles going East. For example I can find $4000 IA or MN to PA/NJ but they pay...
That’s really good work. My buddy runs a team in one of his trucks but they’re not as productive. Rate-wise I think he gets around $3/mile which...
I started with a Reefer and have no regrets. I’m looking to add a 2nd one and will probably get new. Would also consider 2-3 year old with low hours
Where were you trying to go? Just loaded there yesterday (Saturday) to Iowa @2.75/mile 2 day drive. But I had lots of junk offers to NE for around...
It depends how many days a week you’re working. Usually 2,500 mi/week is the average. Shorter loads pay more per mile. But he’s correct - Dec 20...
1000 weekly? Are you only working 2 days a week?
You sure about that? I drove for 6 months after getting a CDL then bought a truck, reefer and opened own authority. Took me a few months to do...
How do you learn the business side being a company driver? You can drive for 20 years and still have no clue how to run a business
I also think it’s fair when they lose money
EBY Brown in Ypsilanti, MI Got unloaded in under 10 minuets - 6 pallets of juice. I was in/out in 20 min total. These guys work fast.
Has anyone heard of BridgeHaul AOBRD? It’s only $12/month.
Thanks. Just keep in mind that you're doing all the work. You're entitled to get paid, and you should dictate the rate, not a broker
It also depends on the miles. Nobody gonna pay $4/mile on 3,000 mile run. But if you're doing 300-400 miles it should be $4-5. Just ask for more...
