    I try to average about $1.50/mi and only take lighter loads under 30,000 lbs to help my dad save on fuel/repairs/tire changes. We work so much with them, that they consider us a "core carrier" now, which lets me see loads 2 days before others see them on the board. It's been working out great and I have a wonderful relationship with a girl in their Savannah office, who gets me all of my loads. But I sometimes wonder if my roughly $1.50 average on van loads is a good deal or I should be looking elsewhere.

    Your truck newer than ten years? Solo or team ?

    No, the truck is a 2000, solo driver. Just wondering, what difference does it make if it's newer or older? Also, since it's older, he doesn't go into CA due to some regulation. I believe he's no longer compliant there, unless he gets some emissions attachment or something of that nature.

    I'm sure CHR loves you to death for being happy with such paltry rates.

    Thanks so much for this awesome tip! I just emailed a friend who works for Amazon. Hopefully he can point me in the right direction of whom to contact, but so far, he said they mostly work with larger trucking companies :(
