O/O rate for a load (dry van example)

If you (o/o) saw this on a load board what rate would you ask? Different ways of looking at this, if you care to explain that would be cool. What would you say to them? Assumption, nothing is leaving Spirit Lake.

Who's the broker?

 

Let's say it's JB Hunt.

 

I know exactly what I can get out of JB on that load, but I can't tell you my rates with JB...

I can tell you that broker 101 is that they will make an initial offer of $1.40 ish.... that's where they'll start...

 

$2.50 a mile.

The reason is that this load ties my truck up for more than two days where I can make in one day $1200 gross with 600 mile runs every day and being that this ends up in Idaho, where I would more likely than not DH out of there to get more work to bring me back east, it is a justified rate.

 

They would give you $2.50.....

 

Well, I should say, they may give you $2.50.... they'll look at your mc and go from there...

 

JB would be really happy if they moved that for $2....

 

I'm north of $2.50, or I'm not interested.

I'm a ways north of $2.50

If Ridgeline bid $2.50 I don't doubt that he'd get it.

I wouldn't touch it at $2.50

 

I'd be looking at rates coming out of Raleigh paying mid to high 2's going to someplace with rates equal to those...

NC has good rates.
