drvrtech77 and skyviper73 Thank this.

I will not make bank my first week out because of the terrible rate out of Colorado, but I think I will be fine my second. Even with the low out of CO rate, the load in paid well, so as it is said, the averages are what we must play.
I'm not leaving until Tuesday early morning. Made that decision because I can make the 750 mile run in 18 hours easily. Will make delivery by noon on Wednesday. Just going to enjoy an extra unplanned day at the house! -
One thing you will notice is, any state that is a US border will generally have low rates coming out. CT, MA, FL, TX etc. like kinda painting yourself into a corner.

People want to in and out of Texas thats the reason of cheap loads. If you stay in texas and bounce between OK or some others you can make good money. But mostly people want to leave right away and get hurt of cheap rates.
skyviper73 Thanks this. -
Only even I went to Florida was for my dads 80th birthday. -
I'm considering going the percentage lease route with Schneider. My better half and I will run team. I do have a question after seeing videos of the load board, if you fellas wouldn't mind helping a driver out.
1) I see the per mile rate, does that rate include fuel surcharge ? Or is it the rate and younger fuelmsurcharge in addition to the loaded miles?
2) how many uncompensated miles are you averaging a week?
3) Do they charge more on the lease if its a team truck?
I think that's it for now. Thanks in advance. Your thread here has been informative and helpful. And freightwipper thanks for the link to your statement. -
