LOL

 

I take back my comment... I don't want to derail this thread. Binghamton to Cincinnati is about 600 mi. 1.80 cpm is not bad coming out of there. I was just up there Saturday... Dam I missed that load. Keep up the good work.

 

I pulled many loads out of there. Im familiar with that area.

 

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I was just trying to wrap my head around the idea of a lot of these drivers failing at the whole lease deal and how some act like its hard to make more than company wages. I don't understand why someone would take the risk unless you are pretty sure you can handle it, but I guess that last line you wrote is what a lot of it comes down to.

 

havent read all your posts but when you say 2 a mile to ny is that your take home or before the 65 percent is taken out . also do they take on owner ops with there own trucks i wonder? this year has taught me dont go anywhere without booking a backhaul lol it seems everywhere is hard to get out of sometimes

 

doesnt sound to bad.. i usually get over 2 a mile or close to it.. i wont even think about going east though your brave lol.. the drop and hook sounds great though

 

lately i have been doing allot of short loads cause they usually pay almost 3 a mile i notice the long hauls havent been paying good unless there into a crappy area coming out of
