    Anyone know anything about either the Joliet or Lansing terminal. They're advertising for O/O in the area with local/short hauls. I believe it's 62% but how's the rates? I'm correctly averaging between $1.60 - $1.90 a mile including accessory pay. I run about 22-2400 / week. I was considering something that got me hone a little more then weekends.

    I load at the same place they do and drivers were telling me it's not good there right now. They had to drop a lot of rates because of schneider under bidding thm. I guess I have it pretty good since I get paid high pump/compressor pay and they get paid none. (I was told we make about the same per mile)

    I'll talk to another guy next week and see if I get a different story.

    I have a good friend working there. Owner Operator. I could give you his number if you like. Maybe you can talk to him and request other owner operators numbers from him to get a good idea. If u like. He did tell me last night that he did 17 loads last week so they may be picking up a bit. I didn't talk to him long though. He only loads out of KA Steel and oil tanking and deliver to Stephen and sometimes Al Point. Everyday.

    Ya if he's willing to talk. Send me a message. I'll be loading at oil tanking next week so I'm sure I'll run into another PFA guy there.
