    I guess things are a little different in Canada. From what I've seen, flatbedders can get 80-85% while pulling company trailer at a lot of places. 90% if pulling their own trailer.

    Thanks!

    yeah the NE isn't for everybody I hear ya, I still myself would like to get out towards the West Coast someday, considering I almost sign on to a place that was 1.10 loaded miles plus .29 for FSC then empty would be .88 per mile. but no discount on fuel purchased on road or discounts for tires etc... So I am pretty happy right now I will be getting my own authority soon just as a backup option.
