    Hello,

    I wanted to ask O/O how much they would charge for an empty container from massachuessets to florida? I'm an O/O trying to get down to florida from NJ and I have an opportunity to catch a load from MA to FL but not sure how much I should charge them. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

    2.00 a mile is reasonable if it's power only.

    Is it on a chassis or your trailer? I just did a loaded going in the opposite direction from FL on my step. Inbound FL is a bit weak, but I think the mid $2's would be a decent rate. I would have jumped on $2.50ish for an empty can last week when I was up there, but I made my money going up.
