Mileage Rates for Flatbed

what is average all mile rates? I'm around $2.10-$2.20 a mile. Talked to a broker that wants me to come to him and he said he will get me more miles but less money per mile. He is saying $1.80-$1.90. Need advise since I'm new to flatbed.

 

I have two trucks and I don't drive.

 

Yes it's a real question or I wouldn't have asked it. I have a driver/partner that wants to try another broker, I talked to said broker and that's the outcome of conversation we had. He said he runs 20 o/o and all make good money and are happy with the $1.80 mile number. I personally don't think it's good but partner wants to try. Looking for suggestions

 

Ok thank you. That's what I was thinking. I think he as the driver is looking at it as more for money and I'm looking at it from the business side and to me more miles for less means no money for breakdowns when they happen.

 

I have 2 drivers and two trucks and trailers, all paid for, not new trucks but good running trucks, 12.7 Detroit and N14. Like I said wanting suggestions on miles vs pay. Some like more gross even if pay per mile is lower. But to me that's how you go out of business
