Rates are starting to skyrocket already

You might get some home time
I hope it snows

 

I know everyone is dogging dog food as a preferred load in our lowly box type trailers but I have hauled some of it that paid really well once in a while. Bottled water can be lucrative in the summer time too when demand for both it and the trucks that haul it are high.

 

Talked to my brother yesterday.
He's the shipping clerk at a oil refinery in jersey.
They ship hazmat loads down to Houston.
Says their paying almost double than they did
2 years ago.
He says they can't find any trucks when they need them.
I told him I don't know what happened to all of them.

 

Water pays good in summer. Last year I did bunch of loads 200 miles for $1000. IN-MI. This year they will be paying $1400-1600 I think

 

Wonder what that works out to per bottle. Even if it were to double in shipping costs. I bet it wouldn't be more than .10. Including all the trucking in empty bottles or plastic to make them. Won't be much to the end consumer.

 

I used a Fred Meyer Coupon on Saturday, paid $1.99 for a 32 pack which works out to about 6 cents per bottle

 

Oh God, how will you ever survive when the coupons run out....lol
