$1.08/mile from PA to Phoenix?

California reefer demand has soared with the early hard frost over this way. So, everything going west is going cheap.

 

If it is dry van only then it should go for more. As in....they need the extra cubic space.
My point was: anything that can be shipped in a reefer, will be shipped in a reefer. I have heard stories of companies showing up and load a dry van then transfer it to a reefer at their yard before taking it west. Just one of the ways our new Canadians have figured out how to try to earn a living by promising one thing and doing another. But it's all good. This just makes for unhappy customers who eventually realize they're further ahead to work with people like me. That's my real competition.

Does dry van typically offer similar trends as reefers? As in; cheap west, and get paid well moving east?

 

If I'm not mistaken the season has started for the reefer so everyone going to Nogales, Arizona so if ur reefer i think so
i have a guy wanting me to join him pays me 600 a round trip to la to Nogales Arizona you could do 3 trips a week

 

They remove doors together with the seal or make new seals with matching numbers

 

I would deadhead from PA to Phoenix before I hauled something for free.

 

I have no idea how the cross docking works. Or if it is even a big thing. I would think if the larger carriers are doing it and using gliders as well as some CARB legal trucks, just drops and hooks would work. Having 2 separate carriers without them using each other's trailers would be a coordination nightmare.

We do it during winter for a lot of produce. Cross docking happens in the Detroit area for loads going to Canada. There is not much going from here to the west coast and the Americans are willing to pull it to Detroit for less than it is to send a Canadian truck empty. But we are not nearly as hard on checking the seal as a lot of USA receivers. Most of the time they don't even look.

 

Arizona rates for dry van usually stink.
