    No shows how much you know about reefers just keep doing that dry van thing.I go to dietz and watsons in vineland get there at 5 out by 6-630 and thats also picking up our products there too.$1 a mile sounds like a van load to me.

    I was a Reefer driver for Shaffer and had the privilege going delivering to NJ many times.
    There's always big rates to the Northeast... but what you gonna get out of there is the question.

    Yeah last winter I pretty much took my pick of the 3.00 a mile loads in the NE, went to Tx, 90 mile bounce and took a load back to the NW (home) @ 2.44. First of the year I stayed at the house during that 2.00 a mile nonsense.
     
    poppapump1332 Thanks this.
