POWER ONLY LOADS

$800 for a one day trip isn't too bad.

 

Do you, as a broker, ever pay anyone $800 free and clear every day? If you do I'm sure there are any number of O/O's on here that would love to do business with you.

 

Could be different factors to this run then I know.ii pull a step deck i wouldn't go from mobile to Tampa for $800 it's almost impossible to get a flat bed load out of Tampa area.i usually want $3 a mile that would be about$1500 or it's not worth it to me .But I might not be understanding all the facts on this one run

 

Not an owner operator just a company driver. However if I were an owner I would look at where the load was going will you be able to get a power only load back out and what are the rates in the area you will be delivering? If you can't then you have 2 days tied up in it and need to bobtail back home or even farther. So is 800 bucks worth tying 2 days up? I guess only you know YOUR operating cost and what you can do. Not sure any one can say if that load is good for your business model.

 

I have to then deadhead back to my trailer no way i would do for $800 the best I remember it's about 500 miles from mobile to Tampa 1000 mile round trip back to my trailer.But also remember I don't do power only don't know how those guys work it.

 

But with what I said in my first post even if I could find a power only load out it's going to be cheap out of that area I would want 3 a mile that would be about $1500 .to go into FL.
