    Elog has changed things a bit. If you negotiate you can get more money. Brokers are trained to find the cheap haulers. "The stupid companies." They use you to get rich. You truck gets used up like it belongs to them with you paying all the bills. Dont be stupid. Sometimes when your tires are turning you aint earning. Theres no reason you cant average $2.30 per mile minimum. I get more than that or i sit.

    Things have change considerably since this thread was started over 4 years ago. Interesting comparison between then and now.

    Elogs didn't change that. That has always been the case. Average rates are up but the really good rates have largely disappeared. Elogs are depressing those and we ain't seen nothing yet just wait until the bottom falls out of freight how desperate it gets.

    I am on a flatbed load, Dayton, OH to Boston, MA area. Load of stand up coils, all legal. $3500 on 800 mile. Picked up Wed, deliver friday. Loads out of the Boston area are not as good but easily over $2/mile to south or midwest. I am using InternetTruckstop for loadboard.

    Before this, picked up a flatbed load, Salisbury, NC to Indianapolis, IN for $1800 on 550 miles. This is what broker are paying. I get 90% of ratesheet and my carrier gets 10%.

    So how are the other O/O doing ?

    This area is hot right now. Flat or dry box both getting real good rates. 4-6 a mile on short haul home nightly is hard to beat
