    On current time I am a Burris Logistics Driver. Burris lost contract with The Fresh Market. The Burris has another contract with the BJ's, I am thinking may be drive O/O, and Burris terminal at Elkton, MD, from my home 25 m. So this is local delivery, to NY 150 m. to NC 455 m. to OH 500 m. For NY run they pay to O/O $700 + $200 Fuel Surcharge + $175 for pickup backhaul.
    The Burris require O/O insurance $2 million liability, it is too expensive so I am not sure yet.

    Even $750 is lowballing. it doesn't matter it is a year round work or not. truck needs to reach an decent level of revenue so we can make money.
    I would never accept anything under $900 for that.
     
    Road Killer and ramblingman Thank this.

    He said within a 100 mile radius which to me means multiple runs adding up to 300 miles roughly which IMO is even worse

    We are talking about trucking here, not brain surgery. You are about as replaceable as a plastic straw. I might nit know everything but I know enough to not pay $3 per mile for a commodity service
     
    Road Killer Thanks this.

    Then do it in-house. I personally don't know anyone who will haul 150 mile loads for $2.00/mile.

    It's very simple @St Regis you asked a question, we answered the question and now you're basically telling us we're not worth anything and that were unskilled labor. So, with that in mind, you can go #### yourself.

    Actually I said I was looking to pay $2 per mile on 300 miles or about $600 per day. So that's $4 per loaded mile.
