    Indiana pays well, if they are saying cheap freight they are lying

    EDIT: pays well from my experiences on flat/step and my needs

    I'm working MI-IL area this week. $2.75-3.25 to the truck right now. Not great but not bad either.

    Yes.

    Edit to add: and if cj (or any other mercer guy) posts a rate, its to the truck after mercer takes their cut.

    Im talking about otr rates here, regional should pay more cause you might do 200-300I miles a day. I like runs over 1200 miles.

    I prefer 2 200 mile runs two days in a row for a total of 800 miles at 3 a mile for 2400 vs 1 1200 mile run that takes the same 2 days that pays 1.70/ mile for 2040$.

    Less miles, less fuel, more gross and more net.

    Yes I'm with mercer. And those were regional rates. OTR is right at $2 it looks like after their cut. That's on about 1000 miles. Sorry when you said the area I thought you wanted regional rates. Not sure who you are with but I hope that helps. Of course some loads pay better and some much worse.
