    Keep in mind All Deliveries on Multi Drop loads are a Estimate unless there is a Crane Appointment, 5 stops can be done in 2 days depending on the distance between them and open/close times, my favorite loads have 10 or more stops on them they pay closer to $10,000 when i can get them, and even loads that require Tarp with multi stop arent that bad your only taking off a small bit of tarp for them to get to their product.

    Never forget to ask a customer how do I know who gets what. Never trust the Receiver I always tell them exactly whats theirs.

    Well I didn't get to study the whole thing. But it was over 4100 miles and paid like 1.5 a mile. I remember stops in az and ca this week, then OR ans Wa next then on to Wi or MN and I think ending in IL. But I could be wrong. The weekends played a part in the deliveries for sure. But having to go up the west coast at 1.5 was a noon for me. If it had run through OK and/or MO and paid better I might have considered something like that.

    Guess I left out the 1.5 part. I was thinking the person saw $6k+ and ignored the details.

    Most likely, I did a 4,100 mile load out of GA before ending just south of Vancouver but it paid 11,000 12 deliveries took 6 days cant beat it, I know mercer pulls loads from that place its where i talked to all the mercer drivers b4 i came here lol now I haven't seen a single load from there since I been here, I gotta figure out which agency does the Southwire work here, and Alcoa outta Eastman, GA

    how the heck do you get that I am offended??? its a fact the west coast trucks will have a lower avg rate, you mentioned the 3 grand bonus, I thought that was for trucks that ran west coast, I guess you got the 48 state tag and a newer truck and staying east???? if you aint been west of I-35 you need to work the boards more

    and that is exactly why I took it it. I was looking at a gift horse for sure. My wife looked at me Sunday and said "have you really been home 3 weekends in a row?" I said yep. She said, man you gotta go to work! Lol. I didn't do it on purpose it just worked out that way.

    the rates have tanked there. not anywhere near what they were. some basically have a bunch of miles and a lukewarm rate today a 3 drop Laredo at a 1.77tt and a 3 drop wi at a 1.74. oneat 45,000 and the other at 44,500 and stepdecks have to cleared to load . there is much better fish in the sea
