    I95 corridor between Baltimore and Maine. Southbound isn't so bad, but northbound can get real spendy. Also depends on which way I go depending on time of day. IF its before or after rush I'll go the "cheap" way through CT, if not I'm going 87/90. It's an extra 70ish miles and about that much in tolls. This year tolls are going to be 10-15k+

    Oh God no. It's a total mess there. I loved my time there, but all things come to an end. With the current management in place not a chance. First week of Feb I'll say where I went. I don't want to jinx myself.
     
    59EX and 77fib77 Thank this.

    you guys deal with NS yard in Sharonville a lot? That place gets ugly sometimes. That’s a good rate for Indy

    Just wanted to update to compare this year to last year.

    03/04/2018* settlement I was at:
    TOTAL COMMISSION 15497.79
    NET EARNINGS $ 8,349.40
    TOTAL MILES: 7927 COMM PER MILE 1.95

    thats an average of 790 miles per week...not good at all. I had parked the truck and basically sat all of February.

    03/03/2019* settlement is a completely different picture:
    TOTAL COMMISSION 44571.88
    NET EARNINGS $ 31,095.85
    TOTAL MILES: 17798 COMM PER MILE 2.50

    Average of 1779 miles per week, which reflects a couple weeks I took off or had only one load. But overall much better start to the year. I'm also only running dedicated freight that pays good.

    *settlements are two weeks behind
