    I'm guessing that 75% of what the recruiter said in my try zone area would boils down to 1.59. That's cheap

    If the offer is still open, can you tell me what van loads and rates you can find going into the Midwest within 100 miles of Scranton, PA?

    I will have to recheck this on Monday....right now im basically looking at leftover since its friday. For Scranton, PA im not showing any loads left over. I know for a fact we run there because I use to run from York, PA to Scranton. You can do two loads a day because its a short trip. Then pick up in Wilkes-barre to get back down to york and do it all over again and there is also TJ Maxx account in Pittson. That use to be one of my money lanes but Walmart recently put out a memo saying they will no longer accept loads early even if they are drop and hook which is BS.

    I said screw walmart imma try it anyway....well walmart took the load no problems but the next day I get a phone call saying I got a service failure because the load was early. Walmart only takes deliveries between 12:00am-23.59 on the date of delivery. Not sure if that's for all carriers now or just celadon crew.

    so keep that in mind if you thinking of doing walmart and yeah im looking for another money lane!

    Not only you guys...we had the same memo come out here on Choice a couple months ago...really made running some of the loads a PIA and not worth it(ie, 1-1/2 days sometimes on a 2-300 mile load). What kind of RPM to the truck are you looking at on avg after Celedons cut?

    Yep that's why I left ES3 go. That was my baby:(..... Last month quality said I got 1.98 on all miles.

    This month i'm trying something different so well see how next month statement looks like.

    new drivers get 67 percent older drivers get 75 percent. Only had one issue with a load I took ( pay was wrong) so I requested a copy of the BOL and found out it was double broker from JB hunt or CR england...cant remember but problem was fixed. I try to stay away from those loads and "celedon personal freight" . That's the stuff that pays .94 CPM. They don't even wanna pay to move their own stuff go figures....

    If you pulled in, after Celedons cut, 1.98 loaded/empty, that's pretty good! Do they cover any tolls, or are you responsible for all tolls? Doing OK over at Choice, but like to keep my options open, especially if they continue in the direction they have been with some over encroachment/micro management they have been pushing on us ICs

    nah nah I miss understood your ?

    It varies from customer to customer. You can get a load for 1.50 then another for 2.50 but If you look at the total revenue for the month and divide it by the total miles ran for the month (including deadhead) it spits out $1.98. Driver covers all tolls. If you run a toll they will back charge you. I got screwed once on that i 65 Bridge in Louisville. one week the bridge was under construction and free, following week I see the construction over and signs saying paying $12.00 by mail for not having a EZ pass. Celedon doesn't bother me. I pick my loads & run em on time....

    You understood what I meant...by "all miles", what I meant was your total average figuring your revenue / loaded and empty miles. My total average, to me after SNI takes their %, was 1.67/mi for 4th quarter, so your 1.98 sounds pretty good. We do have most tolls covered though.
