I think all miles was over 2.00. You gotta think they almost do no D/H with all the drop and hook and if they charge above avg rate in order to leave 50+ trailers at a customer which serves as storage as well as shipping then they're well ahead of us 1 truck shows. Heck they prob charge 2.50-3.00 I wouldn't be surprised. That's why they pay their driver all miles and L/O all miles also. They make good money make no mistake.
Yup, Majority of these shippers want volume. Especially with drop and hook. Makes the logistics guy life easier. He emails the company he's gonna load 15 trailers going wherever then his day is done vs calling a 15 brokers trying to move his loads hoping they get covered
Oh, but I did, it would a natural thing that if you don't see much on public board they would be on the internal board, they got to be somewhere
Booking in advance is great. The only issue is when the shipper either cancels or pushes toward the loads date. Unfortunatly when that happens the whole house of cards can come down. Getting loads ahead of time is great provided the chain doesn't get broke
