    My Midwest Regional winter rates have been doing better than I thought. My 30 day rolling average is $2.39/mi on all miles.
    Not bad for Monday through Friday all legal loads.

    The Schneider IC guys only average $1.20ish a mile? Seriously?

    I only lasted 2 minutes. I didn't hear your name mentioned in the participants list though ;-)

    Why on God's green earth would somebody do that to themselves? I turn down freight below $2 a mile on a daily basis!

    My January miles haven't been too bad either.

    Before you make fun of me, remember I'm just a door slamming, window licking, white Volvo emissions truck driving I-5 corridor, ELD owner operator ;-)

    I'm especially pleased with how I've controlled my DH miles this month.

    These numbers are through Monday the 22nd, as I'm booked through then. I will have had 8 nights at home in the 22 as well.

    One more caveat to add as well, my current MPG for the month is 8.13, which isn't too shabby either.

    Nice!
    I run ELD as well and haven't lost a penny. The numbers give light to the lie about the negative impact of running legal.

    Maybe for some you OTR guys, but not for what I do. The ELD has done exactly what we predicted. The ELD sucks.
