Southeast to Socal is paying almost a dollar a mile. Get it while the gettin's good.

 

Go to DAT (I assume you have a subscription) and research the highest paying loads in your area and back into your area... Then, once you find some cities that consistantly provide high rates, determine volume. You can create a ratio to compare each lane.

 

From what I have seen in OK it is not that good. But since you do not go home much I guess that is not a big deal for you. I hate going out more than two weeks so I can not help you on running that long.

When I first started I found a couple places I could get decent money to and then would watch the boards and see if it was a decent market or random good loads. If it worked out after a few trips I would try and get those loads. If it did not I would try a different area and do the samething. Once you find a few decent spots and build up a little bit try some new lanes until you are happy.

 

Salt Lake City, UT to Miami, FL round trips has created more millionaires in trucking than anywhere else in the U.S.A.
