Finding decent paying loads out of Colorado?

Call Fairmont Logistics they have loads out

 

Yep
It always felt good to say “F you “ when they tried to get me to take a “but it will pay for your fuel” load.

“Screw you, I have unlimited loads at double that rate waiting on me in Biloxi.
My truck gets $x per mile or I ain’t cranking it up”

 

If I go to Denver area. I don’t even looking
I just put it in the wind back to NE. Screw those clowns. .80 a mile they can #### themselves

 

If a load going to CO doesn't pay enough to make a decent rate both directions, I don't bother booking the load. I had an offer just this morning from a broker wanting beer hauled from Portland OR to Aurora CO for $4 per mile and I said no. He thought I was nuts, and I told him if he could get me a back haul to the west coast for a decent rate I'd take it. He never called back.

 

Salt Lake City often has fair rates out and you can usually get something from Denver in that direction.

Be warned - New Mexico is worse. Don’t get tricked into loads going there.

Florida is okay if you stay north but if you head down towards Tampa or Worse, Miami. We dispatch a guy in that area and more often than not he has to deadhead back to Tallahassee because the rates aren’t worth his time.

 

Now that I think about it back in my clark bros. LtL Days ( now saia ) it wasn't unusual to deadhead out the Denver terminal back to omaha .
