    Six months ago i would say it's perfect for the anti social folks. But lately, for reasons i won't post that have cost me a lot of freaking money, i have been very tempted to switch over.

    A second pair of eyes doesn't have to be in Louisville! I have someone watch for me, and a guy I use to like, we would watch for each other. The benefit, I set my own preferences as wide or narrow as I want without a phone call.

    What's the company avg? I figure if some people aren't making it and some people are barely making it, and I've been getting along fine, I'm clearly above the avg. Like you said though, I don't care what someone else, individually, makes, it's none of my business, and none of their business what I make, but youve piqued my interest, whats the avg?

    To be honest i don't know what it currently is. But if the increase posted above starting fleet averages are 4 cpm more is accurate, then it's about 175 a mile.

    no one said it was anyone's business but you said rates were up,. There is always certain rates higher than others. That's the reason there is an AVG . Some are above and some are below. But that doesn't change the fact that in all flat loads and steps the AVG is up 4 and 3 cents. Rates are up but they are up 50 per cent on all of them,. But you know that. So perhaps razor increase isn't due to that 50 per cent increase.

    The AVG thru may was 1.88 step 1.89 flat, loaded . All miles the AVG was 1.63 step and 1.66 flat, step runs more empty miles

    It's accurate, all ya got to do is ask for it, I don't deal with speculation. I posted actual figures.
