Are we owner operators really stuck around 2 bucks a mile?

best wishes. Lots of sharks out there.

 

Correct me if im wrong, but that puts your seed at beginning of the month near 100k?

 

yes that’s what I started the month at

 

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the comments.


People pay 50 bucks to watch boxers fight on PPV, when there is all this free entertainment.

Seeing more and more of this.

Holding firm at the $2 a mile.

 

That’s impressive. How long have you been trading with that account?

 

I've been doing reefer for a great company that pays 25% of the load to the driver. Often as a company driver I've been paid $1+ a mile if you break it down that way. But with rates slipping, going into a recession and inflation killing everything I decided to switch to a hourly driving job. If I do their team driving it's in the .70 cpm.

 

And most of them are lying about salaries that don't even impress me. Like...is that salary before or after your YouTube and referral money? Lol

"How I made $2,100 in a WEEK at Swift!"

Swift regular pay + Swift referral bonus + Youtube money = $2,100!

 

Hi
I'm just starting out.

I wonder if you found a personal broker would that give you better rates then looking at these loadboards?

 

If you get set up with a broker, they'll typical send you load emails based on your lane preferences, before they post it on the board. They would rather have a carrier who is already set up and has done several loads for them than to trust it with a carrier off the load board they've never worked with before and risk the new carrier falling off or having issues with pickup/delivery.
