    I'm partnered with a company who's dispatcher does negotiate at rates anyhwere beetween $2.00 and $3.50+ and their drivers doesn't make no less than $5k weekly and they don't take any operation or dispatching fees so you know their drivers are pocketing a lot of their mmoney a 80% payout.

    You're probably trying to solicit service on here - if that's false, I apologize - if true, find the exit door please and thank you.

    Not soliciting, just answering your question.

    I wonder if anybody actually pulls that at that rate.

    That was the question in my referenced post.

    That does not answer my question.

    Apologies, I misinterpreted it, but from my personal experience and interacting with other truckers, that's the rate that they want to shoot for. It's rare to get routes at that rate when I would communicate with my dispatcher going across country.

    I have a driver that I pay very well to use my truck. After I took my truck fee out, my driver still cleared $5,327 last week. He’s running dry van, mostly Midwest to Southeast. Has consistent access to lanes with big names such as Walmart and a few others I can’t mention due to NDA and internal agreements. He works closey with our dispatcher who was a formal truck driver and negotiates good rates.

    Without a line item breakdown of deductions that still sounds terrible, like $2/mi terrible.

    How much are you paying your driver? Is he an employee or a contractor?
