    Umm what? Gokiddogo and i haven't asked how to pull for Amazon. If they tripled their rates they would still be to low to bother with.

    Approximately 3.07 with dh.
    Load out 325 dh back 325 load back 325 = 975.
    975× 3.077 = 3001.05
    But I get what your saying, lol.
    Oh wait, your counting the dh back home. Yeah 2.30 , lol

    Yea 2.30 for all miles. Not spectacular but its easy on fuel and light loads is way easier on the equipment and fuel. 1850 mile one week 2600 the next week. 30-45 minutes to get loaded/unleaded at both ends.

    Easy guys I know gokiddogo pulls a reefer and does really well and so does spyder with a flat Could of worded it differently i guess.

    You guys prob have a higher avg rate per mile then we do but at least for the time being its 10.5k a week. Even with just a one man operation a guy could do 4 turns and gross 6k. You can do 5 timing right. And this regular van freight not flats or reefer

    Sleeping at the house every night is worth it just for that aspect. You can play dad and have almost a normal life.

    Thats a good solid income right there. Might not be flashy but I'll take solid and steady week in and week out over flashing big numbers one week and dead the next three.

    I know I come across like an A-hole sometimes,.. but I'm really just a hemorrhoid. I irritate the A-holes.

    There is a method to my madness.

    EDIT:

    And so far my predictions are coming through in spades. I just call it like I see it.
