High paying flatbed loads

Ever since my company changed over to Elogs, it has been challenging to find the right loads. I needed highest paid loads with minimal miles. Bye bye to the 500-700 mile runs. Running flatbed loads of 200 to 400 miles seems to pay the most per mile. Loads out of SC, NC, GA, AL, TN, VA, OH, WV seems to be better paying. I average close to $3/miles running 300-400 mile flatbed runs. My daily gross is $900 to $1600 daily. All my loads are on InternetTruckstop loadboard. This year has been a great year so far, but once rates comes down, i am worried that the shorter runs might drop in rates to below $2/ mile. Then i'll be in trouble.

 

Lease on to me and I can give you 1.00 per mile. That's profitable right?

 

Im with TSH and have no complaints. I generally average anywhere between 2 to 2.50 per mile to the truck.

 

TSH from what I seen is cheap. Them 200 mile loads should be paying more than 600. Plus it's tarp loads.

 

I get lucky every now and then and pull some $1300 115 mile loads, 4500 pounds, 6 straps and take off

 

TSH is like any company. they have some 1500? trucks to keep busy. the stuff that makes it to the brokerage board is the left over scraps.

 

Left over scraps huh I see there trucks pulling these loads like crazy. Looking at how there trucks look, I'd say the rates are what she's telling me.

 

That’s a pretty broad statement for one of the largest 100% o/o flatbed carriers in the nation. I’m sure like most places the good loads will never see the load boards.

 

I'm sure TSH has some good rates. All I'm saying is the stuff I see there trucks haul is cheap.

 

you will have it figured out and about 20 years
