    I agree and on contract freight it definitely isn't 50% ...but it's definitely good .

    Absolutely agree.
    I've never seen rates like this.
    $2+ in to Houston, 2+ out.
    Last year if I could get $1.50 out, I'd think I'd hit the lottery.

    I know nothing about that part of the world.
    I operate mostly in the southeast and the midwest.
    All I can say is that in those markets, the rates are pretty good.
    Maybe this is our year to win.
    Next year, probably not so much.

    Agreed ! The sandal wearing gonna get rich in trucking crowd will be back and the auction lots will be full of trucks and trailers again ...those that bought equipment at inflated values will be hosed and equipment values will go in the toilet again .

    My best year was 19' I think. Like $238K to the truck. And that was running pretty freaking hard.

    This year I'm at about $160K with 5-1/2 months to go haven't run near as freaking hard.

    Last year was about $200K with 10 weeks off.

    Landstar is bad. Go to Schneider.
