Can I come to work for you so I can promptly go out of business because you think we make $2.25/mile profit on a load? Bahahahahaa!!! I'm literally laughing at you right now. I'm sorry... I can't help myself. That's rich! You evidently don't know as much as you think you do. Try working on a 5-10% profit margin, then you're numbers may be a bit closer there Super Trucker.![]()

You are not going to find those kind of rates in the Northwest. You can get 3+ per mile if you take freight into Canada or do short runs of less than 200 miles. I have been doing business out here for 20 years and the average rate is around 2 to 2.25 per mile to the truck, cheaper if its lumber. Another issue is the fact that this area is saturated with cut-throat brokers and some large carriers who drive down the rates by consistently under-bidding just to get the customer. I live in Idaho and I do not move anything out of this area for that very reason. Most of the freight around here is agricultural and forest products which do not pay much at all unless you have maxi equipment (53 flats or 4 axle reefers).
