potatoes & refer ?

Bulk potatoes on the floor that are delivered to the potato chip plants, have traditionally payed pretty decent.

I'm assuming that you are talking about consumer grade, packaged potatoes though. I haven't hauled any of those in years but from what I recall, they paid about what general reefer freight pays.

 

Pays by weight, but during the springs of 2005,2006(last time I hauled them)they were paying roughly $2.35-2.45 plus fuel surcharge to run from Northeast Florida to the Binghampton, NY area. This was the pay to the truck after a broker took their cut. Due to the recent economic conditions, I am sure that the pay has trended downward since then.

 

Thats what it broke down to per mile....I just couldnt remember what the hundy was.lol I know that 45k of spuds usually cashed out at about $2.50 per loaded mile, plus a fuel surcharge on top of that.

 

the 100 weight rate is not been good going into ohio , around $7.00 to $7.50.

 

Why not call them and ask?

 

The last load i hauled was consumer taters out of center colo. the spring of 07. It payed by the 100 wght. I faired pretty good but at the same time i loaded the wagon

Dont remember the actual rate though.

load went to us foods i believe in rock hill sc, last load for that guy he closed the doors while i was on the road i had to give up my new shiney stretched out 379.
