McAllen TX loads

Driver.., The industry is now and has been shaped or "Induced too" benefit Outfits with Lots and lots of Trucks. All the O/Ops that I know since the 90's have survived by.....Finding One,Two or Three Customers strategickly located & that are willing to be Loyal in giving you Loads. Find the routes you would like to cover then find your customers. Mega companies have the numbers on their side. When they have "hundreds" of Trucks, they can afford to break even in 10% of their trucks while generating good revenues in the rest. Also they are willing to take a Loss in 2% of the units just to keep some customers happy "in the house". The system is rigged that way.
Good Luck, good bussiness, Happy Trails..!!

 

Did i read that correctly? You can get $4 per mile driving a refrigerated cargo in your truck? That's really awesome! So that's 1,000 miles weekly x 4 = $4,000.... $12,000 per month

 

1000 weekly? Are you only working 2 days a week?

 

Oh how many miles is the average per week? Because if it's $4 per mile... and you're doing more than 1,000 miles... then I'm staring at a figure that can't be possible XD

 

It depends how many days a week you’re working. Usually 2,500 mi/week is the average. Shorter loads pay more per mile. But he’s correct - Dec 20 until about Jan 20 it was easy to get $4 a mile. We got few loads @ $8-10/mile on 600-800 miles.
I’m guessing a lot of drivers were off. Not me

 

Where were you trying to go? Just loaded there yesterday (Saturday) to Iowa @2.75/mile 2 day drive. But I had lots of junk offers to NE for around $5,000

 

We as a team have put away over 30000 miles a month.

I don't know what 4.00 comes to. But at that number minus payroll and fuel the company is buying new tractors free and clear most likely.

 

That’s really good work. My buddy runs a team in one of his trucks but they’re not as productive. Rate-wise I think he gets around $3/mile which isn’t bad on longer runs. I’m guessing you do coast to coast loads. It’s not likely anyone get $12,000 on 3,000 miles

 

$4-5/mile is easier to find on 300-600 mile loads or even 1000-1200 miles going East. For example I can find $4000 IA or MN to PA/NJ but they pay crap on the way back, unless it’s a team load. Team loads usually pay more
