oh, I am doing fine. Own two houses, about to get a 3rd down hereBoat, nice truck, and I just got back from Japan.
Just need to find my path forward.
Buying a step deck means I keep 90% instead of 80% so it's a 10% pay increase just with this step.
I have been watching the boards for 5 months, checking flatbed rates, flatbed out of my area is a solid $2 a mile, lower now than it was too, but once I leave the area the rates seem about the same as reefer.
Comdata still the best for OSL permits?
Is this the WRONG time to get a flatbed?

Flatbed rates nothing worth getting into.
If you want to make better money and go home often move out of Florida.
Doing that will make you a lot more money vs any trailer you pull and staying in Florida.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -

Who the hell is doing single pick/drop .50/mile cars?
On the bright side when you're hauling two cars for a $buck a mile, atleast you won't need reefer fuel!!!Another Canadian driver, YardMule89, singlescrewshaker and 5 others Thank this. -
Another Canadian driver, D.Tibbitt and JonJon78 Thank this.

When you get that $7 a mile load to key west, and all there is coming out is a ski boat on a trailer for $1 a mile you load it up or 300 mile deadhead through traffic.
FYI key west is a nightmareAnother Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I don’t. I leave it sitting. But I won’t go to key west for 7 bucks either.
Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I haven't decided anything yet, aside from I am not buying a reefer. I can keep pulling the one I lease now quite happily as long as I wish.
Every leg of my reefer trips, I look at F and SD rates for my next leg, and see them paying 30 percent more.Another Canadian driver Thanks this.
