    First let me start off by saying that this is not a post asking about somebody’s lane or anything like that,but I do believe it will help people including myself.I also know that everyone’s cost to operate is different as well.
    So my question is are the Truckstop estimates and DAT average accurate and also are those numbers one should shoot for or are those too low? I know there are different variables that can change as far as OD,multi-drop/multi-pick,etc.But as far as single pick,single drop,legal dims are they accurate?

    They are close but for me the averages help get you in the right ballpark of what freight is moving for .
