    Short loads pay good most of the time if you are only looking for RPM.

    What is so special about buying a new truck? Hell I bought a brand new one too and only put 5K down on it. Anyone can make that happen if they want. You are mad for some reason because I called you out on the price. If you run cheap and it works for you great for you!
     
    Vampire Thanks this.

    Every market is different in Wisconsin where I’m from $2.50-$3 a mile for runs is normal. Here in Texas I live right now 1.75-$2.33 in the going rate. So because you have to know your operating cost it’s more lucrative for me to do short runs. Why will I beat up my equipment for other companies gain.

    If you are paying your bills again good for you. It still is a bad rate no matter how you spin it.

    You are right great for me to make $900 on 200 miles. Mad are the people that don’t see the positive in a ####ty situation. I’m not mad at all. Plus if we share this info more Brokers/shippers will start paying up
     
    Siinman Thanks this.

    If you do JBhunt much they do not pay well unless they are close to the pick up times normally. Just a FYI

    yes sir.. you are right. In Texas there is enough volume where I don’t book no loads until the day of. Only load I book is to get rolling away from the house. After that I’m getting $2.33 a mile minimum waiting to book last minute.
     
    Siinman Thanks this.
